Pros

For the most part we have a great team, and we know our duties and understand the positions and posts, many of us are very happy to be here. The benefits the perks and the idea of being part of something such as Nike are awesome. There is a lot of potential to be happy at Nike even in the NGS Department.

Cons

The middle Management, from the Leads to the Manager; only a couple leads and Supervisors are respectful and attentive and know what they are doing as far as leading and being a part of a team. As for the others many of them do not condone a positive working environment and prefer to let people fail instead of succeed. Some of the leadership seems to be looking for a reason to get people to their last write up and all that does is put people on the fence. Many of the leadership maintain and enjoy that 'gotcha mentality' thus creating a hostile working environment in turn creating a unsafe working environment. It’s unfortunate to not be able to trust the people who are supposed to champion the workforce and provide support to the team. Obvious favoritism and behind the door prejudices are rampant, Not many minorities in positions of leadership and if the Manager does not like you it is blatantly obvious you will not be promoted. Fear of termination because you report things to HR and or stand up for yourself is becoming normal and accepted and should not be. I know in my heart we deserve better because we are Nike I hope this helps my team some way in the long run or my future team members.

Nike in general was a great company to work for. Great work life balance, great teammates, solid pay. Employee discount was awesome perk.

There was constant reorg and it hurt team morale.

Pros

discounted gear, a paycheck in a tough job market, free gyms

Cons

This company has completely given up on investing in its employees. Even during difficult times, it should still recognize, reward, and develop its strongest contributors. People who lead major, high-impact projects receive little to no recognition, reward, or career advancement and are treated the same as those who contribute very little. There are virtually no opportunities for growth or promotion, and favoritism seems to play a significant role in career progression. If your manager doesn't like you or doesn't advocate for you, advancement becomes even more difficult. The expectation is to continuously deliver more work with little or no recognition or investment in your career. I've worked at companies that paid significantly less than Nike, yet they were much better at recognizing talent by giving employees titles and responsibilities and projects that reflected their skills and contributions and interest. Here, unless you're one of the favored employees, there is little opportunity to grow, regardless of your impact. Again, if your manager has something against you, your future is very limited at Nike.
