      Don't believe true work/life balance.

      Pros

      Not much to say other than New Balance has "Great benefits". Robert T. DeMartini seems to be a good person after speaking to him once. Other than that, it wasn't great.

      Cons

      Promotions are nonexistent unless you have management in your pocket. This company is for you, if your goal in life is to keep the same position until you retire. If you don't believe in work/life balance. If you like managers who can't manage. Don't work here if you believe hard work will get you somewhere.

      Good Benefits, Bad Culture unless you can play the game.

      Pros

      Good benefits, health insurance was excellent. Money for more fitness if in good health. Maternity leave is excellent. 401K matching.

      Cons

      Fake and forced culture. There were arbitrary rules upheld only to punish people. Dress codes such as no shorts, tank tops, and ripped jeans. Lack of promotions internally and transparency on how to grow. Leadership prefers to play telephone with information, having leads report down to their their team to report down, losing all information. Leadership prefer keeping workers in the dark for fear of being replaced if incompetency is revealed. History of pushing people out if they don't match the NB "culture"
