NIKE reviews

For such a great company, the stores are a complete disaster behind the scenes. Most days I was on the phone with IT for hours trying to get computers or registers to work right. The training programs for associates and managers is nonexistent, therefore the turn in employees was ridiculous. I felt like we were hiring and losing people quicker than fire spreads. It was hard to do my job when upper management doesn't hold anyone accountable either.

• Opportunity for advancement -- Unless you work at Corporate, and good luck there too, the opportunity to grow is challenging. Management does not spend enough time developing their employees. They claim they "don't have the time", but, ultimately, it's a time management and prioritization issue. This is not solely direct management's fault, as their business objectives get more and more complicated every day. Senior and Executive leadership should get more in tune with this. • People (Pro and Con) -- You have the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented and wonderful people at Nike. But watch your back, and be extremely mindful about who you trust and what you say to people. You would be surprised who will throw you under the bus at any chance they get. Best bet is to keep your head down and do what you were hired to do. • Lack of recognition -- If you aren't in the "in crowd", good luck getting invited to events, or even being told "thank you" for a job well done. The higher-ups don't realize what their line-level employees do for the company, yet, they seem to get all of the recognition for the work their employees do.
