NIKE Reviews

Pros

Workout facilities, benefits, 401K, Onsite food, child care facility, casual work atmosphere, company resources, good autonomy at senior staff level.

Cons

Outrageous acts of hubris, turn and burn HR recruiting – retention practices, low-no tolerance for functioning outside of the functional “silo” ( marketing, development, design). High school clique culture as a mainstay of command and control.

Advice to Senior Management

Get out of Beaverton and take some managemnet classes.

Pros

good employee discount, good and open minded leadership (in my area). Less office politics and most of them are trying to get the work done.

Cons

I am working as an ETW (External Temp. Worker) and I would say at least 25% of the work force working on the WHQ are ETW. When you are an ETW, you don't enjoy the benefits and the promotion you deserved. (And you also happen to see a lot of employees to stay at NIKE for ages... like 10+, 20+ or even 30+ years) And this particular item can be good or bad depends on how you see it.

Advice to Senior Management

Move your good/effective ETW to be your employee, show them there is a door to really enjoy NIKE as a whole. Not just an out-sider all the time.

Pros

Great opportunity for growth within

Cons

Must know someone to get a job

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

Working for the best sports brand ever. Product is king and people are great. Work culture is geared towards active people which is a plus.

Cons

It is kind of hard to move up the ladder with Nike but its who you know not what you know.

Advice to Senior Management

Maybe pay attention more to your individual stores. Work and accommodate with their needs like remodels or more product

Pros

good employee perks, casual yet professional work environment. company has a clear view of their goals and business objectives.

Cons

career growth of it's employee's is not really a priority for the company, there is no incentive for current employees to stay at the company and continue to work hard

Advice to Senior Management

career development is key for all employees and it should be taken seriously as it will only benefit nike to further invest in employees' knowledge and skill set. opportunities such as 'stretch projects' are great ways to do this but a 'stretch assignment' can only go on so long before it ends up being a permanent responsibility that the employee should then be compensated for.

Pros

Room for growth, lots of bonuses, traveling.

Cons

Lots of traveling (for me, personally) & make sure to make deadlines!

Advice to Senior Management

Keep offering us room for growth

Pros

GREAT PAY
GREAT BENEFITS
GET TO MEET FAMOUS PPL
WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHING TO WORK

Cons

FAVORITISM
INCOMPETENT MANAGERS
THE ASSOCIATES ARE SOMETIMES IGNORE

Advice to Senior Management

HIRE BETTER MANAGERS AND LISTEN TO YOUR ASSOCIATES.

Pros

It is a very respectful work environment with tight deadlines and intense goals. Company is very innovative, which leads to a decent amount of disarray, but the people who work there are used to dealing with it. You need to be very adaptable to work here. The culture is fantastic - very casual with lots of friendships among co-workers. Total benefits are very good, when you consider employee pricing, on-site fitness centers, on-site daycare, and a beautiful work environment.

Cons

The competitiveness of the environment makes open positions very competitive as well. As such, many good people have a hard time getting promoted. But most people with a lot of drive have success finding new opportunities within.

Pros

discounts, work life balance, fun environment

Cons

retail salaries suck
retail hours suck

Advice to Senior Management

provide employees with more opportunities for advancement

Pros

This was my first job. Was able to move up quickly to full time and supervisor. Good benefits including healthcare, 401k and employee stock options.

Cons

Although it is Nike, it is still a retail job. Good opportunity for improvement if you are into retail, otherwise the rest of the jobs are at headquarters in Oregon.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up, make sure employees are rewarded on performance basis, not personal preferences.
