NIKE Reviews

Pros

Nike has generous paid time off.

Cons

Terrible managers. Nike does not promote well from its ranks, and hires just as badly outside the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Try promoting people who do their jobs well instead of the people who kissed your ass.

Pros

Great sports culture and work site

Cons

Too much focus on "personal press" of employees

Advice to Senior Management

As you roll out organizational changes, invest to make changes effective upfront rather than as a last resort.

Pros

great place to learn and throw all your energy. it is a great place to start your career. Would recommend it.

Cons

Not the most structured company of all and remuneration is among the average in the industry. Rellocation is needed in case you want to advance.

Advice to Senior Management

great company to work for. True inspiration in essence and nature of the company. Best place I have work so far.

Pros

The benefeits are the biggest Pro. Access to exclusive nike product and facilities including: a private store, a private gym, campus events and activities along with great medical benefits as well

Cons

They do not have the most competitive salaries. The hiring process is often lengthy. very competitive work place even after being hired

Pros

Great opportunity for whatever you make out of it.

Cons

rumors of politics but no worries if you know how to play it/rise above it/ do your thang!!!

Advice to Senior Management

Great Job!!! But, when new store managers come around and want to downsize.... beware, however great you do at your job, you are just a number to them.

Pros

Advancement - I got lucky and applied at a new store, so everyone is starting on the same level. Work hard

Cons

Pay - I thought it would be a little better, but i guess thats what you get when you work retail.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what your good at.. look after your employees and you can expect the same in return.. overall impressed.

Pros

Work Life Balance
Connection to the brand
Growth opportunities and lateral movement
Work environment and perks
Innovative and creative environment

Cons

Very matrixed environment makes it hard to get work done efficiently
There are some cases of 'good 'ol boy' network

Pros

The culture is fun and relaxed
You are working with some of the coolest products on the planet
The dress code is casual (Wear shorts and t-shirts to work)

Cons

I really cannot think of any cons about working for Nike. Like any other publicly traded company it has some challenges but they are nothing that you would not see anywhere else.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what you guys are doing, the company is thriving in a challenging economy.

Pros

Fabulous campus and environment
Great product to be proud of as an employee
Solid leader in Mark Parker

Cons

Long work days, overabundance of consultants who later become leaders who are not effective managers with no people skills. You are a number at NIKE. Talk work/life balance but it does not exisit at least in the part of the organization where I worked.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer more leadership training. Feel sorry for the HR organization. They are way short handed.

Pros

The shoes are awsome and it was great being able to know all the new releases and having the chance to buy them first.

Cons

Childish coworkers, some very polite other very immature but it was a majority of them. Overall it was an ok job.

Advice to Senior Management

Management is great sometimes there were so many you don't know who to go to one person would tell you one thing the other another and caused problems and confusion.
