Pros

1) If you are determined to live in the Portland area, Nike is probably one of the better local employers to work for. 2) The brand is well-recognized, so having Nike on the resume can help secure interviews at good companies down the road.

Cons

It seems like the company lost a lot of top talent due to mandatory back-to-office. Teams are siloed and don't work well together. Regular reorgs make it difficult to gain momentum. The culture is fairly passive-aggressive, ego-driven, and cult-like. The people who succeed here are those that drink the kool-aid, talk in sweeping generalizations, and become comfortable in stagnation. I left after 6 months. For context, I have 10 years of experience across half a dozen Fortune 500 retail companies.

Pros

This started as a summer job during COVID and extended for the next couple of years. I loved working here and in my experience had a good managers. I personally like Nike so the discount was a big perk!

Cons

The main con is pay. I was paid near minimum wage with little increase YOY. If you want to pursue corporate there are rotations that become available at the retail level, but very competitive.

Pros

Benefits are good. Pay is okay. Usually get a bonus every year.

Cons

Management is horrible. The culture inside is awful. The workers aren't great, either. They don't pay for holidays anymore, also.
