Overall disappointed in the culture
14 Apr 2021 - Merchandise Manager in Beaverton, ORRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Medical benefits, discounts, stock options, gyms, some really great/talented people, etc.
Cons
Boys club/toxic masculinity/cliquey high school behavior Poor management and lack of servant leadership development Under-the-table promotions based off who you know/if you're a white male Stolen ideas/credit, broken promises, and blocked stretch opportunities for selfish gain Lack of senior leadership transparency Hiring BIPOC & women into senior positions to check "diversity and inclusion" boxes Expensive on-campus food Work/life balance is sometimes not respected and falsely promised Senior leadership doesn't necessarily care to push against the grain in a bold way, rethink processes, or see things from new perspectives - they have their own agenda Being told to speak up and then when you do, being told to shut up Essentially zero onboarding unless you get very lucky Many unethical people & processes Below-market pay coupled with higher output expectations the lower in band level you get Poor budget management and excessive/careless employee spending on the company's dime Not many growth opportunities for BIPOC, women (unless you suck up, drink the kool-aid, or are in the boys club) Employees are only a number in the grand scheme of things and are fully at the company's disposal Not in any way a sustainable brand/company

Great experience, not perfect.
27 May 2021 - Retail Brand Manager in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
From my experience working for large Corp is never perfect and hoping for that is naive. Working for Nike has moments where you feel a part of a big family and the truth is, they are the leaders for a reason. Being a part of Nike, employees will gain invaluable experience at all levels in most functions.
Cons
Reorganization happens too often, middle and lower management is completely discombobulated, communication around it is terrible. Nike needs to look at their sustainability. Retail needs to be less wasteful, POP and retail executions continue to be massively wasteful (most marketing materials ending in landfill ) Their compensation is good, their senior leadership has the scales tipped, they should find a way to ensure all employees make a living wage for the geography they live, this includes compensation for commuting. Work/Life balance, there is a unwritten rule that you need to give blood, sweat and tears to be successful there.
