I just missed my chance to work for Nike.

[blacklion23]

Today I was suppose to go to a group interview at the Nike Factory in Dawsonville, Ga. at 2pm. The problem is that Dawsonville is over an hour away from whereI stay. My car is a piece of crap and would not survive 30 minutes of the trip before it ran hot. There is no alternate way to Dawsonville. No Marta and noXpress. This was the chance to get my foot in the door. The position I was being interviewed for is the Sales Associate position. If anyone knows, how is thepay and the benefits for Nike?

you didnt miss anything. trust me. I would know.

Pay is typical of any standard retail chain. Benefits are only offered to Full-time employees starting out. If you're part-time...you have to wait 12months...possibly more if you fall short of the Open Enrollment period. Even then... the benefits packages that are actually worth anything are expensive, andthere a certain restrictions for Nike to match their contribution to offset your costs.
You get a pair of shoes every 5 months (up to the Manager's discretion...some limit it to $49.99 priced shoes

)
It really isnt that great of a job...I've been here for 3 years

Shipping/Recieving is where it's at, if you have a choice. Sales Associates FTL

If you stay for 15 years tho...you get a lifetime discount

Man you made this sound like you were actually going to be doing something special. When it comes to working retail, more chances will come up. If it reallymeans a lot to you, you should've called before hand and told them you were having car trouble, or even call them now.

 

[grizzlyboy]

you didn't miss a thing

nike is one of the worst companeys to work for

 

[khadafi252]

i've been w/ nike for 2.5 years now and its paid off way past the discount. i've been on stretches (one on campus) and even got a few perks (box seatinvitations to blazer games). i think if you are going to do retail, it only pays off if you are in oregon, truthfully. past that, the pay is low and you gottaget on swoosh for your sneaker benefit. since they made jordan product full price, its a rip-off. that is unless you feel like driving to memphis. i'm atthe beaverton ES so my situation is a tad bit different.

factory sucks anyway. well, the retail end sucks as a whole if it's not your forte.

 

[blacklion23]

Thanks! This is why I love NT.

but on a serious note you didnt get the job bad COMPANY or not meaningyou are not making money to save up for a new car meaning you get the L and you need and L to spell FAIL!

 

[cubsfan455]

they got no respect for there employees. pay is wack and i would not drive an hour to work at a Nike factory store

 

[illionaire]

I was in the same exact situation 2 years ago. But instead, I was late for the group interview TWICE

.

It will hurt for 2 weeks then you will realize you ain't miss anything

. The pay ain't even all that anyways. You will eventually find an evenbetter job in the future and you will realize that working for at some NIKE outlet store ain't even all that.
