Pros

Discounts on Nike product, good benefits, WLB is pretty good most of the time, campus culture was amazing when we used to work in the office, on-campus gym and climbing facilities, "was" one of the best employers in Portland

Cons

Compensation for tech workers hasn't kept up with the market during COVID, CDIO and his friends want to convert Nike into a tech consumer rather than innovator, people are leaving in droves and no one is allowed to replace them except with cheaper global "talent", projects are no longer interesting or innovative but simple integrations with expensive turn key solutions, and a lot of incompetent people that got their jobs through nepotism or cronyism

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.
