Pros

You work with really awesome associates. Nike owns Converse so you get a really good employee discount at both establishments, as well as "free" staff dress.

Cons

Management didn't know how to manage. You were constantly told not to be friendly with co workers inside or outside of work, so you had to hide being friends. There was no mobility within the company, they were constantly hiring from the outside for all positions. Also, corporate is so out of touch with their product and demographic its no wonder the brand had to close a lot of stores, leaving us unemployed.

Pros

Lots of talented creatives as well as roles for hard workers Opportunities to meet diverse employees from around the globe Opportunities for travel and relocation, as long as you did it their way Many chances to learn new skills if you are assertive enough to look and ask for it Given autonomy in many aspects of business Great insurance, 401k, vacation policy

Cons

Reviews and career growth were a joke; why bother the charade if articulated career goals are ignored Little clarity around field career advancement besides moving from store to store Expected to take on additional responsibilities with no additional pay or promotions HQ marketing initiatives hit store p&l Difficult to actually take advantage of vacation and sick time accrued
