Pros

family company dedicated to employees and customer service great products for support and performance, as well as casual wear many opportunities are given to grow within the company close-knit environment lots of benefits for full-time including co-pay for doctor visits as well as tuition reimbursement part time benefits include gym membership reimbursement and paid vacation days. making the sales goals everyday means everyone gets a "spiff" on payday

Cons

work can be very boring when things are slow management stresses walking around the store even when there aren't very many customers shopping. breaks are very short for anyone working a shift that's less than 8 hours

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.
