Brooks Running reviews

Boys Club Professionalism is a joke HR needs to be improved - doesn't take employees complaints seriously Professional growth - you need to PUSH as hard as you can (even then it doesn't happen) You get to a point where you stall in your career Boys Club Boys Club Boys Club Consider it a fraternity....events, daily life, it's not a place that most women would love, especially because upper management is mostly all men. Meetings are revolved around sports discussions and if you can't participate you won't get anywhere. There are a few "token" women in higher management positions, but they don't hold any real influence in the company. Leadership doesn't walk the walk...they say they care about their people but they have routinely let unreasonable and unacceptable events and behaviors happen. I've heard through the grape vine they are continuing to lose valuable people who are leaving simply because they don't feel appreciated or valued.

There are many people willing to throw each other under the bus in order to advance their personal career. Very cut-throat environment in some departments. It's all about who you know at Brooks, not what you know. In order to advance, just walk around and chat it up with everyone! Oh, and don't forget to go on a 2 hour run sometime during the middle of the day. It's totally legitimate and will definitely get you ahead! Brooks is becoming increasingly corporate, which has it's pros and cons.
