Disappointed. I went in thinking I'd found a company that I could grow a career with. Now I feel let down. - Developer NIKE Employee Review

Pros

Great perks and it is fantastic on the resume. It is also large enough that you have a lot of chances to move around and learn more then in a smaller company. They are actively working on environmentally friendly ways to make a difference.

Cons

It does not matter how hard you work. It is ALL about WHO you know. I realize this is part of life. I'm not naive enough to think this doesn't happen at other places, but in the last year the positions that have come open were all given to preferred candidates. How does that allow for people outside of the company to get in? Doesn't that seem a bit incestuous? How can you "be on the cutting edge" when you just keep hiring the same people over and over?

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.
