Pros

All the colleagues, even in other departments, are very encouraging and eager to help and share their skills and knowledge.

Cons

Maybe, little too relaxed. And the fact that New Balance has its brand image, if you are aiming for making something glamour, like Nike and Adidas, you might be disappointed.

Pros

family company dedicated to employees and customer service great products for support and performance, as well as casual wear many opportunities are given to grow within the company close-knit environment lots of benefits for full-time including co-pay for doctor visits as well as tuition reimbursement part time benefits include gym membership reimbursement and paid vacation days. making the sales goals everyday means everyone gets a "spiff" on payday

Cons

work can be very boring when things are slow management stresses walking around the store even when there aren't very many customers shopping. breaks are very short for anyone working a shift that's less than 8 hours
