Pros

A dream place to work if you are an athlete. Cool people. Cool environment. Awesome products. Passion. You get to see the ahtletes in person. You get to test their new products. You get to work in an environment that matches your lifestyle. People are nice. Anyone will take the time to meet with you, no matter how high up they are. Lots of opportunity, but you must play your cards extremely carefully. Challenging products, a lot of oppurtuniy to really be creative. Amazing passion and stories a lot of employees bring to the table. An athlete's dream work place.

Cons

Benefits are not particularly strong. Outside of corporate HQ not sure how great the work environment is. I don't have that much bad to say. A college athlete will move up the chain 20x faster then somebody who is passion but not pro/semi pro in sports. Some cliques. It's only 5000+ people but its starting to feel like a bigger company. Sometimes pride runs to deep and stifles innovation. If you aren't an athlete or passionate about sports or health you will probably not move far or succeed in the compan. But that applies anywhere really. That's about it. .

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.

Pros

Benefits are good. Pay is okay. Usually get a bonus every year.

Cons

Management is horrible. The culture inside is awful. The workers aren't great, either. They don't pay for holidays anymore, also.
