Pros

Can sometimes find success, despite itself. Big budgets, resources and opportunity to align with big cultural touch points hide a lot of warts.

Cons

Toxic environment where employee satisfaction is at an all time low. Political. Petty. Bureaucratic. 70-80 hour work weeks. Low Compensation. Frat Boy Mentality. Lost the magic that used to be there in earlier years. A deck culture where making your boss look good is the only thing that matters. Echo chamber culture like to hear itself talk. Spend more on internal presentations and internal selling than most companies spend in their entire annual consumer facing budget.

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.
