      Pros

      Great work life-balance. Plenty of resources - private company. Good job security. Made in the USA pride! There are a lot of great people who still work here! Lack of investment of innovation and understanding what innovation means. The N logo has hindered design teams ability to grow running category.

      Cons

      Unbelievably week leadership at General Manager level of product management. The company has recently hired several GM's from outside who have worked to destroy company culture. They have created a new competitive environment that in theory is a good thing but it has created a dysfunctional work environment. Have been privy to some disturbing banter and locker room talk that is childish and wrong and borderline sexist/racist. There is lying and a general lack of respect for others that was never here before. Not the New Balance way of doing things. Some of stronger employee's have begun to leave or will be leaving. Company has been struggling for the past 5 years and getting desperate.

      Pros

      Great product. Great co-workers. Experienced associates are willing to help the new guys out a lot.

      Cons

      Not the easiest company to move up in. Stressful Summers. Low work hours during the winter.
