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.

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.
