Nike has generous paid time off.

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

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

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

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.

Pros

Great atmosphere, anything and everything you would want in a company, as far as amenities goes! A lot of great and talented people work at Nike.

Cons

Hard to advance unless you know the right people or you brown nose real good :) Performance reviews tend to be subjective instead of objective :(

Advice to Senior Management

Why give any advice....management does what management wants to!!

Pros

Time off was easy enough. They'd hire just about anybody w/o a record if you were passionate about the swoosh. Lots of bad attitudes were allowed to stick around like no other place I've worked at.

Cons

Low pay, and not many get the amazing benefits. It's who you know, worse than I've ever seen. Unaware of the rest of the world who didn't drink their Kool-Aid.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire less seasonal athlete's and give more hours to the workers you've got. Better break room. Please be more considerate with the employee's time. Put up the work schedules w/ way more advance. I can't tell you how many times I didn't know if I was working the next day, because the schedule wasn't posted yet.

Pros

Professional Environment
Well Oiled Machine
Great organization

Cons

More updated tools for repairs

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to needs of employees

Pros

Strong top leadership
Fun culture

Cons

Matrix can sometimes be challenging to navigate
