Pros

The office itself is nice.

Cons

Honestly, this was one of the worst work experiences I've had. * The work was mostly repetitive and offered very little opportunity to learn. It is mostly prod support. * Micromanagement was extremely common, with little to no autonomy. * They require four days in office, but attendance seemed to matter more than productivity. Many people spent their time in the office socializing or sitting through unnecessary meetings, yet there was still an expectation to be available late into the evening. * Work-life balance was poor, and long hours often felt normalized. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive culture, opportunities for growth, or a healthy work-life balance.

Pros

This started as a summer job during COVID and extended for the next couple of years. I loved working here and in my experience had a good managers. I personally like Nike so the discount was a big perk!

Cons

The main con is pay. I was paid near minimum wage with little increase YOY. If you want to pursue corporate there are rotations that become available at the retail level, but very competitive.

Pros

Benefits are good. Pay is okay. Usually get a bonus every year.

Cons

Management is horrible. The culture inside is awful. The workers aren't great, either. They don't pay for holidays anymore, also.
