Pros

Great benefits and flexibility in schedule

Cons

Pigeon-holed into role and responsibilities, and difficult to advance professionally without being part of the "in" crowd or strong self-promoting efforts.

Not a millennial? Don't apply.

Pros

Great campus, good cafeterias and coffee spots. Benefits are above average with good healthcare, generous PTO, ESPP is very worthwhile. Focus on younger workers leads to good events like Thirst Thursday, campus party environment. Sample sales can result in good brand merchandise if you are willing to wade through tons of discards lying on the floor and long lines to get in.

Cons

Nike is extremely, ultra politically correct with an environment that focuses on youth, specifically millennials. If you are moderate or to the right in the political or social spectrum, Nike is not for you. There are many in the Portland area over mid-40's who had long careers at Nike, great performance reviews, but were "managed out" (e.g. can't prove age discrimination) once they hit that certain age. The concept is above 50, you have a "target on your back." Youth and athleticism definitely rule the day, if you aren't either of these, it is best not to apply. Beyond political correctness to the extreme and a youth focus, it is a department by department company. Some departments good, others not so good. Micromanaging, bullying, second guessing, why did you do that definitely exists at Nike.

Pros

Lots of great Co-workers. Rest of Nike is great!

Cons

The management is back stabbing and sets people up to fail so they can write you up and get fired. Always changing shifts to meet the "business needs" which means you can be there for 10+ years and still be sent to Graveyard on a whim. If they don't like you, you have no chance of a future in Nike Security. Good luck moving on to other portions of the Security department unless you worked for one of the 3 letter government companies, no matter what your background is. Do you self a favor and stay away from this department.
