Pros

1. Employee discount 2. Networking 3. Creative freedom 4. Status 5. Campus

Cons

1. Contractors are not treated the same at FTE's, and it is blatant. You get looked down upon and treated pretty badly. You are clearly dispensable and everyone makes sure to remind you of that. 2. Salary - This is NIKE. You can pay your contractors more when you are such a huge company, and have incredibly talented contractors doing amazing work for you. The salaries can be offensive. 3. Management - I witnessed a manager in another department that shared my same building who had made multiple young women feel uncomfortable, cry, verbally abuse them and made them quit. I was told that this issue was taken to the VP who did nothing, and the company let this person stay in a management position after numerous complaints. The recruiting agency even had to pull contractors from this department due to complaints - yet the manager got PROMOTED! Disgraceful. 4. It is really hard to move around within the company and can take over a year of building a relationship even if you are over qualified. 5. There are always meetings to have meetings about things that can be sent in an email. Such a waste of time.

Pros

Working at Nike was a great experience overall. The company culture is energetic, inclusive, and team-oriented. Management encourages employees to embody the Nike brand and provides opportunities for growth within retail and corporate roles. Employee discounts are excellent and make it easy to enjoy the products you sell. The work environment is fast-paced, especially during launches and holiday seasons, which keeps the job engaging. I also appreciated working alongside passionate teammates who genuinely cared about customer service and creating a positive shopping experience.

Cons

Retail schedules can be inconsistent and often include nights, weekends, and holidays. During peak periods, the store can become extremely busy, which can be stressful when balancing customer service expectations with operational tasks. Advancement opportunities can vary depending on store location and management structure.
