Pros

Teaches you what you don't want at a future job.

Cons

Bias creative managers Poor management skills Encourages office gossip Terrible Morale You will not want to accept or stay at a job here. It becomes a negative and consuming aspect of your life. It has the worst management in the last 3-4 years that I have ever experienced. Everyone is trying to get their foot out of the door. I have experienced harassment as well while working here, but cannot report it out of fear of backlash. Management and employee communication is overall disrespectful and unprofessional.

Pros

New Balance has genuinely been the most positive workplace experience I've had in my career. The culture is supportive, inclusive, and full of great people. People are kind, curious, collaborative, and truly invested in helping others succeed. There is no sense of hierarchy for hierarchy's sake. Leadership is approachable, down-to-earth, always happy to listen, and continuously expresses gratitude for everyone's contributions. I feel valued everyday, both for my contributions and in the way the teams collaborate. Work-life balance is also a real strength. Being privately-held and family-owned, there is a real emphasis on employees being people outside of work. Expectations are clear and boundaries are respected, which makes it easy to bring your best self to work without feeling burnt out. It's rare to find a place where you feel this appreciated and excited about the work. And because of this, I feel motivated to do my best for the company, especially when the product is something I'm super proud to work on.

Cons

NB is not where you can expect to be promoted year over year. However, this ultimately leads to more job security, consistent large bonus pay-outs, and a more stable environment.
