New Balance reviews

We get very few hours. Most hours are given to the two employees that make the most sales. Which I can understand...but it's pretty crummy when they're getting 20 hours a week, and you're only getting 4. I don't think I'm *that* bad. There's not a lot of traffic, so you spend most of your shift doing nothing (depends on time of shift of course). It gets really boring. Asst. Managers are often on their phone, so the employees are too. We have to pass the time somehow. We don't sell the shoes people want. So we don't make sales. With the new pricing system, our employee discount doesn't even apply for some things because the sale is better than the discount.

Lack of Leadership vision. Just keep bringing in associates that we don't need over last 8 yrs. Doubled staff but business growth did not warrant it. Now people walking around doing nothing all day. Leadership has very little regard for long term associates and the contributions that they have made and continue to make. Benefits are being cut and becoming more costly to associates. Push life/work balance as benefit... until you try to utilize it. It's only for the chosen few.
