Cons
First impressions are important. While a book should not be judged by its cover, many people are unlikely to read it if the cover is not inviting. - anonymous That being said, this is my opinion and impression of Nike IHM (Beaverton) while working there for a couple of months. With all due respect to the General Manager at Nike IHM, Brett Gantz. For the short duration, I've encountered Brett Gantz an outstanding General Manager who cares very much of his employees and Nike company. There are a few supervisors and PMOs have great potential on day shift (D1). Unfortunately, the other 99% offset the rest. First of all, not once received any kind of welcome and/or kindly greeting. That sets a negative environment to any newcomers. I've never experienced from any other company that showed lack of cordiality and hospitableness towards an employee. Second, lack of communication and teamwork from co-workers within the cell. It's all about secrecy, whispering, and/or "tattle-tale" one another to gain browning points form either immediate supervisors or PMOs. Third, unnecessary and unprepared meetings from a specific PMO with no skilled facilitation and clarity. In general, meeting purposes are clear, participants are prepared, conversation is dynamic, and the meeting ends promptly, with next steps defined and confirmed among all participants. The meeting may be pleasant, and even fun, and there may exist an enjoyable camaraderie amongst participants. But the meeting is clearly about moving forward the work of the day and is energized by the preparation and clear-focus of its participants. In closure, for a striving and well-organized giant business, Nike IHM have a long tedious road ahead of them to improve their quality of employees. However, this doesn't reflected any negative reviews towards Nike IHM employees at St. Charles, MO. What I've noticed and observed during their short visit to Beaverton, they showed their professionalism and quality that Nike can offer. They have my respect!
