Unprofessional General Management in Marketing/Product Management.
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.
