Pros

Some of the smartest co-workers you'll ever have. Discounted products. On the surface "cool" factor. Opportunity to travel globally. Gorgeous campus (Beaverton)

Cons

Tons of office politics. You are who your manager "says" you are. Micro-aggressive behavior towards women and people of color (specifically African Americans). Limited work/life balance. Below market pay (non S band employees) White males tend to "fail up" (C. Cheek)

Pros

This started as a summer job during COVID and extended for the next couple of years. I loved working here and in my experience had a good managers. I personally like Nike so the discount was a big perk!

Cons

The main con is pay. I was paid near minimum wage with little increase YOY. If you want to pursue corporate there are rotations that become available at the retail level, but very competitive.
