      Pros

      Many people really like the culture and the 37.5 hour work week. Good perks, interesting products and projects. It's cool seeing work you do, come to life out in the real world. Owners and senior level management have a lot of loyalty to their associates who have been with them for a long time. Once you get a job, you could stay until you retire.

      Cons

      As innovative as the company is trying to be, they're resistant to change and don't always embrace people who try and bring new ideas. As much as some people love the easy going culture, it can be frustrating to those who are overachievers, work hard and aren't punching a clock daily like their colleagues.

      Pros

      It is a brand I was very proud to represent. I love their products, even years later. I loved interacting with external and internal consumers, I loved most people that work at NB during my tenure. The people was fantastic to work with. Employee benefits were amazing. The pay was semi decent.

      Cons

      Once you are put in a managerial position, the hunger games begin. Too much gossip and judgement when you're learning a new role. They put you in a box that even if years have passed and you have mastered your role, you will always be that person who once messed up. You will not see a promotion, and then each year they will hit you with a 3% merit increase, or less.
