NIKE reviews

Very long hours, low pay and watch out for the sharks. It is a shark tank so don't bleed. Lots of people who will say one thing and then do something the opposite. Also be prepared that once you reach a certain age of years with Nike they will lay you off. Lay off's occur every 5-7 years. Top management will claim they know nothing about it but they most likely do. It is a big boys club.

Salaries are way below current market. With so many applicants a year, Nike knows that they can hire top talent for cheep. People want to work for Nike! So Nike low balls you knowing you'll take it to get your foot in the door. Then Nike cleans house every 5 years. Meaning layoffs! This is to eliminate higher paid employees and bring in new lower paid employees with fresh ideas. Like, applicants just out of collage or design school. Nike sells a great story. I thought I was going to make a difference there being a designer in the apparel division. But your just another number among hundreds of other designers replaceable at any moment. Working up the corporate ladder is slow and at time painful. After 6 years of dedicated service, I left and started my new job making 10K more a year then I was making at Nike.
