Pros

The relationships. You meet all different kinds of people whether it be customers or your coworkers. The people make it bareable. The best Pro of all, the reason people stay through the aggravation & annoyance?-- The Nike Discount :)

Cons

Great pay as an associate. But if you ever want to move up in the company the pay gets worse. The assistant managers aka "leads" have way more responsibilities to take on with barely a step up in pay from an associate.

Pros

Opportunities for growth and great benefits.

Cons

Management is so incredibly catty. There's drama every month, not just between associates, but mostly with management and leadership. The store manager is also good friends with the district manager so if you had any HR violations with her it wouldn't be taken seriously and they would just laugh about it in their video calls. So many HR violations have been made here its not even funny. I recommend the company as well as Nike who owns them but do yourself a favor and stay away from the Philadelphia Premium Outlets location.
