      Terrible company in St Louis

      Pros

      The building is close to home. I can look out the window and dream of a future job elsewhere.

      Cons

      Very hard to trust anyone here. Everyone is in corporate mode with their hands out trying to get something they haven't earned. It's very easy to rub shoulders with the brothers and get what you need. HR continues to surprise me daily with the smiles and plain corruption by lying to everyone who they try to push out the door. I see people quitting or being fired. They offered me good pay and a office before I was hired. I'm out in the open with everyone and isn't what they offered me. I'm looking to leave ASAP.

      Pros

      Benefits packages and compensation are great. The company does truly care about their core values.

      Cons

      I spent a year with NB in the corporate office in Brighton, MA. During that time I saw multiple people receive promotions due to favoritism as opposed to hard work. I also saw some very hard working people get demoted because they weren't part of the boys club. It's a shame.

      Pros

      Insurance and the nice windows.

      Cons

      Management is the worst I've seen in 20 years. HR is in bed with management and will not solve problems. I was threatened by a manager. He also threatened my job If I chose to tell HR. I told HR but they wouldn't do anything. The queen of HR walked around with her fake smile but never solved problems. If you believe kissing is how you go up the ladder, New Balance is the company you should be working for. If not, you better go elsewhere, learn how to kiss, or be prepared to be miserable with the same old job with no advancement.
