What I wish was different

Nothing -- it was the best summer I've ever had.

Advice

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.

Procurement Technititian

July 2018 • Beaverton, OR

What I liked

The early work hours and flexibility are amazing, this coupled with an welcoming and enjoyable work environment makes it fun and rewarding to go to work everyday.

What I wish was different

I wanted more base pay, however I am currently in negotiations to advance my salary.

Advice

My best piece of advice would be that when you're working is to make sure you start your day early in order to get the most out of your day. In order to balance school, work, hobbies, family, and your social life it is not unexpected to be awake for 16-19 hours of the day. With the right time management skills you can maximize that time and maintain everything cordially.

Nike Employee - Operations

June 2018 • Deer Park, NY

What I liked

I loved the people I was able to meet and work with. Nike has a great team when it comes to operating a business, and it was a pleasure working along side all the other athletes (co-workers). I also liked the system of hours they had arranged, and of course the discounts were a very nice touch. I also enjoyed my flexibility when it came to the floor, I was able to move around a lot and help out in any way necessary, it was a great experience builder.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had more time with the company, as I had to return to school, but I am still in touch with various stores around the state.

Advice

I advise people to step out of their comfort zone when it comes to meeting new people, and working on their communication and salesman skills. It was very important to push the technology and sales when I was at the store, and that was definitely one of the highlights on my time there. My last piece of advice is to follow your passion, and pursue any company or interest you have, my interest was not only in Nike, but also the message behind the brand and I brought more to the table than what they bargained for. Push yourself, and exceed your boundaries.

What I liked

I liked how open of a campus it is. Everyone is willing to talk to you because you're an intern. All the happy hours and events going on made work really fun.

What I wish was different

Nike is such a large company, it's hard to figure out what exactly you may want to do there.

Advice

Really try and network and branch out from your group that you may normally hang out with.

HR Talent Acquisition Intern

May - August 2018 • Beaverton, OR

What I liked

Nike does an amazing job hosting interns over the summer. Not only did we get a first class business experience with the most amazing company, but we also got to go on adventures and trips as a whole intern class. I met so many new people and strengthened my professional skills immensely. This was a life changing experience and I will always be grateful for my time at Nike. #swooshlife

What I wish was different

Since Nike is such a big company with so many different departments, interns are not always guaranteed a return offer. Most of the interns have to network their way back into the company which can get challenging at times.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about interning with Nike is always embrace the ambiguity. Nike is a large company and has a lot happening, so as an intern you have to be comfortable with owning your work and rolling with your ideas. One other thing I would say is to participate in every opportunity they offer, whether it be a speaker series, the white water rafting trip, or even volunteering for an event.

What I liked

My coworkers were amazing. I never knew I would meet some of my most favorite people at work. I am truly so grateful I was hired at the Nike factory Outlet store.

What I wish was different

I wish management better communicated with staff when discrepancies arose. Other than few instances, most everyone was content. I never had a problem with management or any of my coworkers.

Advice

Talk to people. Communication will get you so far. It helps you learn and progress.

One campus plan intern

May - August 2018 • Beaverton, OR

What I liked

I loved working at the World Headquarters of one of my favorite companies. I was able to meet some of my favorite athletes and talk with workers from all around the world. There was always something going on.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have looked into housing more before going there because I had to go through the corporate option and it was nice but expensive.

Advice

I met at least one new person everyday and challenged myself to get into work early and stay later a few times a week to maximize my short time there. Nike loves driven individuals and anything you can do to stand out will be recognized.

Undergraduate Global Procurement Intern

May - August 2018 • Portland, OR

What I liked

I loved being able to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself and what I thought I could do. Procurement is usually for people who have strong analytical and quantitive skills which I don't necessarily get in my major, but everyone was supportive.

What I wish was different

I wish I had taken charge more in my internship and make the most of it because I was given an opportunity to be independent.

Advice

I would tell anyone who is looking to intern at Nike that it is a lot of handwork but it is worth the experience. This is truly an internship where they give you practical projects and a chance to leave a mark on the company.
