Pros

Discount on already discounted items

Cons

Little to no flexibility from management. Scheduling based on seniority. Mgmt is sexist when assigning roles. During hiring process that I was a part of, other management did want want to consider qualified candidates from other countries. Took little responsibility for themselves when in house issues arose. Did not have associates backs when customers had problems and often blamed associates. Retaliated against younger associates and newer tenured employees. Shamed associates and put them on blast if they did not adhere to mgmt standards. Zero training program at all despite being promised during to be trained properly during interview. Did not properly staff during busy seasons. Late and hurried communication by senior management (rarely were things planned well in advance).

Pros

Great benefits- gym on site, subsidized, quality food. Fun environment.

Cons

adidas did not pay well when I worked for them. They were dismally behind their peers. I left and received a large pay increase when I moved to another industry. They also pretty clearly prefer younger employees. Depending on your role, the travel is frequent and trying, but a plus if you actually want to travel for work - I definitely did not.

Pros

(This is for the North American headquarters in Portland) * Company culture supports creativity and trying new things * Excellent benefits including employee stock program, on-site sports and fitness facilities, regular events and celebrations that all are encouraged to participate. * Great people who all strive to make a difference, including striving for diversity and inclusion.

Cons

* Typical corporate shenanigans * Executive leadership prioritizes profits over people * I experienced massive lack of communication between Germany and Portland. We were often treated as second-class citizens when we were actually leading the charge on product.
