Nike, Inc.

Sales Associate

June 2018 - September 2019 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

People were nice - working with other students so it was a relaxed work culture. Most supervisors were nice enough to chat with every once in a while. Not too hectic - store was closing down soon, atmosphere felt like a second semester senior's experience.

What I wish was different

I wish things had been a little more fast-paced; towards ends of shifts, I would just be looking for things to do.

Advice

Retail is exhausting! Especially when you have classes going on, it's hard to balance the two.

What I wish was different

I wish I applied sooner.

Advice

Make sure you just strive for the best when working at any Nike location. Strive not only for recognition but for yourself so that you are confident in the fact that you put 100% unto everything you do at work.

What I liked

Very close to school and home, great marketing experience regarding selling shoes to consumers, team-oriented environment

What I wish was different

Scheduling isn’t flexible to one’s shelves, weekends can be hectic and extremely busy, some consumers can be extremely rude and entitled. Managers are cool but can be a little demanding at times especially on holidays.

Advice

Be ready to work and be on time. You will not have your weekends to yourself because the company requires that you have an open schedule on the weekends. It is a learning experience as well so do take something from it if you work there. Nike is a really cool workplace though and i do think that college students should get to experience it especially if you’re in the business/marketing field.

The consumers were not always the nicest. There definitely needs to be a better system for processing shoes from back of house out to the floor.

Hard work or lack of hard work definitely is noticed by the managers

Product Management Intern

May - August 2018 • Beaverton, OR

What I liked

I loved working cross functionally on the intern "Combine"project as well as the fun intern events they had at headquarters. I loved being surrounded by likeminded individuals who had the passion for sports and being active. As an intern you really got the true Nike experience as if you were to be hired there full time. I was able to network with various employees across the company to gain an understanding of their roles which helped determine what I would ultimately be interested. The internship program gave you a lot of real work experience and I was performing tasks similar to my coworkers. Everyone there was super friendly and eager to speak to all the interns.

What I wish was different

Knowing more about the return offers for full time positions. There's a lot of interns and not all get return offers. Most have to network their way in to get a return offer.

Advice

Meet as many people as you can during the internship and be eager to learn. The amount of connections I have made in just 12 weeks was amazing but it also involves you putting yourself out there and taking the initiative to meet people. I met individuals who work with top athletes in the NFL and train professional athletes and had I not gone out of my comfort zone to meet these people, I would've missed out on these cool opportunities. So you never know who you'll meet! Also, take every opportunity to learn and be open to learning more. Full time employees love knowing that you want to learn more and don't have all the answers.

Give Nike a chance to win you over -- they work hard to make the internship a learning experience professionally and personally. The other interns are great -- Nike cares a lot about fit, so everyone is energetic, smart, and eager to have fun.
