Pros

- Excellent benefits package - Beautiful headquarters - Lots of brand energy/inspiration - Lots of nice extra perks like sample sales, exercise facilities, child care, etc

Cons

- HUGE dependency on networking & navigating the Nike matrix - Lots of job politics involved to get other teams to prioritize the work you need from them - Can be high stress & long hours during holidays/major release times - Often times not clear what counts as part of your job/have to wear extra "job hats" - Career advancement path not very clear and usually are on your own to figure out & find out about openings

Pros

Loved the culture and how open and friendly most Mgrs are. Met sooo many people, in fact, I have more connections while there (1.5yrs) compared to my previous employer (>3yrs). Cafeterias offer great food

Cons

Very 'white' dominated with minorities very few (count in one hand) Sr. Executive level and capped (what that diversity # is) in HQ as a whole. Unfortunately, most customers are from all over the world and inconsistent to their HQ campus vs. Retail. This is how Oregon is too. BTW - they have nice gyms but you need to pay a monthly fee.

Pros

For the most part we have a great team, and we know our duties and understand the positions and posts, many of us are very happy to be here. The benefits the perks and the idea of being part of something such as Nike are awesome. There is a lot of potential to be happy at Nike even in the NGS Department.

Cons

The middle Management, from the Leads to the Manager; only a couple leads and Supervisors are respectful and attentive and know what they are doing as far as leading and being a part of a team. As for the others many of them do not condone a positive working environment and prefer to let people fail instead of succeed. Some of the leadership seems to be looking for a reason to get people to their last write up and all that does is put people on the fence. Many of the leadership maintain and enjoy that 'gotcha mentality' thus creating a hostile working environment in turn creating a unsafe working environment. It’s unfortunate to not be able to trust the people who are supposed to champion the workforce and provide support to the team. Obvious favoritism and behind the door prejudices are rampant, Not many minorities in positions of leadership and if the Manager does not like you it is blatantly obvious you will not be promoted. Fear of termination because you report things to HR and or stand up for yourself is becoming normal and accepted and should not be. I know in my heart we deserve better because we are Nike I hope this helps my team some way in the long run or my future team members.
