Cons
Employees regularly (every 6 weeks) encouraged to buy their own Staff Dress, it is not provided, you must obviously exclusively wear Nike, you end up spending a chunk of your check back on Nike Benefits not as accessible if Part-Time, Healthcare benefits are expensive for Part-Timers Seasonal for the first 90 days, so you're basically Full-time without the benefits Even as a part-timer you're getting scheduled 30-40 hours a week Claim to work with availability but you must have a lot of availability, and it isn't easy to fit in school, another job, your family, people's kids, etc Even the best workers are hardly developed by Managers Just enough staff to not fall apart, not enough staff to run ideally, Managers are too busy to help you map out your goals, everyone is too drained Pay is so bad for the amount of traffic and people you're expected to provide world-class service to, even Managers complain about the pay being too low; they genuinely talk about asking higher-ups to raise everybody's pay but it never comes You are always around brand-new shiny product, it entices you to spend your money back on Nike, which you do whether you love it or hate it At the end of the day, there is always that feeling that Nike really isn't doing that much to be ethical or sustainable, even though it claims to be. Nike is not B-Corp Certified.
