March 2019 • Grand Prairie, TX

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.

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.

Category Information Analyst

May - August 2018 • Beaverton, OR

What I liked

Interning as a Category Information Analyst(CIA) at Nike opened the doors to many other departments in Nike that I am now very interested in. I had the opportunity to manage and standardize all of Nike's product data attributes. Going forward, product teams will have a better understanding of the meaning and use behind each of the 160+ attributes. I got to work hands on with excel, Nike's product data system, product teams and development team to create the most accurate data for downstream use.

What I wish was different

Overall the Nike Internship program does an amazing job treating the interns as full time employees. In my specific position, I would I had gotten a little more experience with actual CIA work to help take the ease off some of the current CIA's. I want to be a CIA in the future, so I wanted to get the most experience as possible.

Advice

My piece of advice for all who intern at Nike or anywhere is to not be afraid. It took me about 5 weeks to start to feel comfortable but by then I was already at the half-way point and realized I had missed some opportunities. Once I started to feel at home, I could tell the relationships with my co-workers and managers changed as well as my confidence during the day. Internship season at Nike is vibrant and all the current employees love the interns so take advantage of the ability to network with as many people as you want!
