Pros

Local, convenient to get to, global company with lots of opportunities to travel, good benefits, hard workers, good people, brand new office space, promote from inside the company.

Cons

Pay (good for the industry but not for the area), benefits are being reduced and getting more expensive, product is expensive even with discount, "running lean"

Pros

The pros will never outweigh the cons at this company.

Cons

I would encourage anyone seeking employment with New Balance to consider these points: 1. Employees are treated very poorly and contractors are treated even worse. 2. Senior management is out of touch with what is really happening both inside and outside of the business. Most of them are severely under qualified. They also micromanage heavily. 3. Middle management needs a serious overhaul or at least better situational training. Some teams are ran by favoritism. 4. The company is fairly flat. Don’t expect pay to increase or any movability in terms of title or moving to another department. No recognition is provided either. 5. Virtually no training is provided by HR or your internal team so you’ll definitely feel unsupported 99% of the time. 6. Pay will be average at best. Most people are severely underpaid for their responsibilities. 7. Resources are horribly limited but yet sales and output are expected to increase. New Balance may have been a good company to work for several years ago but this is no longer the case now. So many employees all over the company are leaving because of the facts mentioned above.
