Pros

Discounts on terrible gear? The campus is nice.

Cons

Terrible leadership. It seems like Nike promotes children to lead the company - those who are interested in a cult-like culture and faddish products. They do not take leadership reviews seriously and there is a retaliatory culture. It is well-known that a majority of employees are miserable. But if you want to live in Portland and make a decent salary, you are kind of stuck. Vacation plan also sucks.

Pros

Working at Nike was a great experience overall. The company culture is energetic, inclusive, and team-oriented. Management encourages employees to embody the Nike brand and provides opportunities for growth within retail and corporate roles. Employee discounts are excellent and make it easy to enjoy the products you sell. The work environment is fast-paced, especially during launches and holiday seasons, which keeps the job engaging. I also appreciated working alongside passionate teammates who genuinely cared about customer service and creating a positive shopping experience.

Cons

Retail schedules can be inconsistent and often include nights, weekends, and holidays. During peak periods, the store can become extremely busy, which can be stressful when balancing customer service expectations with operational tasks. Advancement opportunities can vary depending on store location and management structure.
