Pros

Great co-workers. Some nice perks. Interesting work. Awesome campus. Most people really like working here. Summer hours program is amazing. People are really passionate about what they are doing. Lots of advancement opportunities IF you look and act like a high school cheerleader or a drunken frat-boy.

Cons

Disrespectful, ageist, sexist, entitled, pampered and selfish upper management. I have had some really bad managers who clearly think only of themselves, and put zero effort into career development. Who don't bother to have a shred of courtesy for anyone on their teams. Who know they can be self-absorbed rude d**ks and get away with it. "Lower" level employees made to feel 100% disposable. Especially bad morale after the last lay-offs. Culture and values used to be so much better. Also, new open-plan work environments are counter-productive, loud and distracting.

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.
