    Pros

    Nike is by far the most inclusive, people focused organization I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The people who run this company and it’s different orgs are amazing. The benefits and pay are amazing as well. I plan to have a long career with Nike.

    Cons

    Fast paced and high stress but they make up for that with plenty of wellness time, summer hours, and half days with events.

    Work life balance

    Apr 25, 2023 - PT Athlete in Chesterfield, MO
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Pay was great and the discounts were amazing as well. You would get 30% off in store and 40% off online. They offered PTO for part timers and health benefits as well.

    Cons

    NO WORK LIFE BALANCE if you start here consider this your life you will work every single weekend. As a part time worker you would think you would work part time hours in a way. Not at Nike instead you work 8-9 hours shifts with a lunch. Expect them to take away your personal life altogether. The minimum amount of hours that you have to have available is 28 hours weekly. So if you ever intend to start here be aware that you will never have a weekend to yourself. They make the schedule 3 weeks in advance so you need to request off months in advance just to get your day. Managers do a lot of micromanaging as well so be aware of someone always on your shoulder.

    Great culture & values total person wellness to get the most out of you

    Pros

    Nike allows you the ability to be yourself. It encourages you to be healthy from a mind, body, and self side even when you do this during the work day. It believes that these healthy habits will make you a more productive employee and last for the long run.

    Cons

    Heavily matriced organization where often one leaders's input of "not being aligned" can prevent innovation or progress. This make it difficult to do something even when something is 80% good (including the customer) and 20% bad.

    Great Pay, Not Good for someone who likes to be productive

    Jan 10, 2023 - Senior Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great pay, benefits, and culture. Good discounts and generally cool to be a part of such an iconic brand. Especially cool to be based at their global headquarters given the campus perks and events.

    Cons

    If you ACTUALLY want to get work done, have some wins/accomplishments under your belt, this is not the place for you. They pride themselves on making decisions by committee, which makes every decision an asinine process. You will spend MONTHS, literally 6+ months "socializing" an idea or body of work, and then have something come in and just render it a moot point. You just wasted 6 months doing literally nothing that matters. But, hey, you got paid well. They are trying to brand themselves internally as a technology company, yet they don't even have the MOST BASIC technology capabilities. It's truly a joke. And people push back on technological progress. The leadership they have on the tech side don't seem to know what the hell they're doing or they're just heavily influenced away from doing the smart thing. Several people doing the same job. So much overlap. Not uncommon to join a meeting and find that someone else on the call has your exact same job and now you two have to battle it out to figure out who's going to take this one on or what part of it you'll work on. They could probably let go of 60% of the people that work here and you'd still never notice.

    It's Not a Fair Playing Field

    May 2, 2023 - HR Business Partner in Memphis, TN
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The benefits offered at Nike puts them at the top of their competitors. There are a lot of areas to move to internally, if you want to spend your entire career at Nike. The workforce is diverse and promoting within is highly encouraged.

    Cons

    The politics in the HR department and other areas of Nike is disgusting, disappointing, and demotivating. A lot of unqualified people get promoted to leadership roles who are as effective as a toddler managing their emotions. They call it "building relationships" when it's really about butt kissing and "like-me" biased management that "rewards" workers with opportunities and promotions. They run their business like a mom and pop shop, not like a large global company with a diverse customer base. Very disappointing.

    Great brand, poor internal processes

    Apr 7, 2023 - HR Program Manager in Beaverton, OR
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Great culture - the people made my experience great. They also have tons of events happening throughout the year. - Pay - If you are a professional corporate employee, make sure to negotiate your salary as high as possible. Also, ask for a sign-on bonus. - Annual bonus - Nike product discount

    Cons

    With any company, there is politics when trying to get things done. They have multiple groups doing the same work/projects without communicating with each other. Some of its internal core processes and software are outdated for such a large and well-known brand. Their organizational structure if overly complicated and matrixed

    Shady, Incompetent, and Underpaying. Dangerous place to work

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Friendly coworkers -Comfortable dress code -Great company perks (employee discount etc)

    Cons

    -Pay is abysmal considering this is NYC. Don't expect much over minimum wage -No one in upper management knows what they're doing. They are ALL involved in high-school-style drama that ends up with people getting laid off just because they don't like you or people have been gossiping about you -Multiple female employees were either laid off or quit due to sexual harassment by male employees. Management and HR did nothing about this and chose to keep the perpetrators working in the store!! -Depending on what department you are in, you will be severely overworked and underpaid with managers that micromanage you and treat you like a child -There were multiple major safety concerns and incidents in the building that had employees scared to go to work. Management's response (or lack thereof) was completely unacceptable
