Pros

There are some very nice people working at Nike.

Cons

Support is not properly mapped out. Everyone is just winging it. There are no manuals to follow. They are still cleaning up PCs and Macs one machine at a time. There are no automated tools such as CCleaner and automated drive defragging to keep machines running. Employees should reboot machines weekly. Mac's should be reset (SMC and NV&Pram) every few months. Talking to the wrong person can get you fired. Taking gifts will result in firing. Not wearing Nike gear will get you fired. Employees must purchase their own Nike clothing at their own expense. I wear a size 3X shirt, which is nearly impossible to find. My shoes are 11 4E, which means I can never wear Nike shoes. At around $12/hr, it is not something an employee can afford. No training whatsoever is provided.

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.
