Pros

Flexible location, you can be fully remote or hybrid or fully in the office if you choose. Fantastic work life balance. both individual teams as well as company culture encourage a healthy balance between work and non-work. people are flexible and willing to understand extenuating circumstances. Workload is manageable and you are told early on to let it take a back seat once 5 PM rolls around. Great product and discounts. New Balance makes fantastic shoes and athletic wear (my opinion). the discounts are fantastic, and get even better at the end of each calendar year. Involvement in local community. New Balance is a well established Boston company and takes an active role in nonprofit work and other cool community happenings. I've already volunteered with my team on two separate occasions. Company culture. New Balance really promotes collaborating between and within teams, and not just on work. at least once a month there is an event going on for people to just get together and chat, either formally or informally.

Cons

Slow going. Like with many large corporations, New Balance can be slow when adopting changes in the organization as a whole. Sometimes, people are hesitant to own workstreams within a team. Remote work is great when I want it, but it can sometimes be a challenge meeting with people in different timezones or those who are not physically present.

Pros

Average pay and incentives for add-on items or multiple ticket sales; usually nice customers with only the occasional outlier; relaxed management and staff at most locations.

Cons

It's retail, very slow paced most days, very little room for growth besides assistant manager or store manager
