Pros
A creative retail company with a strong focus on PEOPLE! Being a part of Nike, Inc is amazing and there is strong alignment with the HR and people development piece. But there is definite differences in the customer base, store size, structure. My entire experience was amazing. I moved over to the Nike side of the brand for further opportunity in my development. However, Converse will always have a place in my heart. I am forever a customer and fan!
Cons
In the field, the stores are somewhat spread out and that makes it difficult to move out of the stores and into the field (what could’ve been next for me) without relocating. This is not a huge issue as long as you can relocate for the right position. In entry level positions, there are pay challenges. That makes it difficult to hire associates when competing with higher entry pay from competitors.
