Pros

New Balance has been a perfect fit for me. They took me in February of 2015, about two months after I graduated from school. The management here is great, they are right there with you every day and teaching you how to become a great sales person. What separates New Balance from the rest is they make sure you don't miss important events in your personal life.

Cons

The only con would having to work with feet all day long, but I got over that quickly.

Pros

Excellent benefits! Health care and paid time off was sufficient.

Cons

Not much structure and was never really clear whether or not there was growth potential.

Pros

Employee/family oriented ownership with huge emphasis on customer service and simplicity in the day to day operations. Great hours, good pay, and closed on major holidays. A retailers dream!

Cons

A chain of 6 stores spread across north texas and 3 more in outside markets, causes the stores to sometimes receive a blanket treatment. Not all stores have the same needs and not all employees respond in the same way to the actions and plans of the ownership. One size does not fit all.
