      Pros

      New Balance is a good company to work for. It has a great sense of family / community. It is the only company out of the top five athletic shoe companies that is manufacturing any of it's product in the USA.

      Cons

      There is not much room for growth in the company. They tend to hire mostly externally talent for any of the major roles that open up the ladder.

      Poor GM Leadership and the majority of employees lack any critical thinking ability

      Pros

      Benefit costs are good - compensation is average We're rewarded with tokens to redeem for Walmart gift cards. I'm leaving the first chance I get.

      Cons

      Let's see... run by 2 incompetent brothers that hire a third brother for all the contracting work Penny wise, pound foolish No one knows how to do anything with the websites Much of what truly goes on is hidden from corporate thanks to the insane nepotism GMs constantly cave under corporate pressure, despite "being in complete agreement" and them giving you their "full support" Outsiders are treated with more credibility than their employees telling them the same thing Run their employees ragged and there is no cross training, so you just absorb people's jobs when they leave with no additional compensation.
