      Only friends of senior leadership get promoted

      Pros

      40% off New Balance shoes, free parking. Some of the employees are cool.

      Cons

      Company culture is very much an old boys club. Office looks sleek externally but is always messy with boxes making it difficult to get around. No free coffee or food or anything provided for employees. Office wifi is very slow. Promotions are only given to those that are close buddies with senior leadership. Diversity is scarce and company culture does little to address constant microaggressions. Also terrible work/life balance, your constantly asked to do job related-tasks on weekends.

      Love working here, but inflation has yet to be reflected in our salaries

      Pros

      Great coworkers, generous bonuses when we hit milestones, work/life balance is flexible. My boss is very supportive and it’s an exciting time to be working at NB in the industry!

      Cons

      It’s common for other tasks in the company to spill onto your plate so you need to protect your work/life balance at all costs. No salary adjustments to inflation have been made across the company. Disappointing when everyone I know working in the private sector and the government has received an inflation adjustment on their salaries and I’m over here cutting back to pay for the essentials. I’ll update this section if any changes are made.

      Decent place to work

      Pros

      Great great benefits, really good work life balance which has been so helpful during Covid. Leadership really emphasizing their support of associates during Covid. Awesome coworkers; feels like a team vs many individual competitors. Leadership is heavily investing in brand growth. Decision making is getting better than it had been the last few years.

      Cons

      -Upward growth is too slow. Titles and pay are far FAR below the rest of the industry. They work hard to avoid giving promotions, and promotions are usually more based on leadership's opinion of you or how visible you are to them instead of your actual performance in the job you've been hired to do.
