Pros

Great brand with a long history of fit and comfort in the Athletic Footwear business. The brand is well managed from the US and has solid business operating principles and practices.

Cons

New Balance trades on it's history too much. The brand has a strong following in the older demographic range making it difficult to compete in the team and youth markets where margins and launches are more likely to prosper.

Pros

Work/Life balance, great benefits, great discounts on products, great hours to work, volunteer opportunities in the community so you feel you are giving back somehow.

Cons

Company promotes a lot of 'lateral moves' , no room to grow.. It could take YEARS to move up the ladder or get a promotion.
