Pros

When someone from Boston is here. I feel when their here in St Louis, they tell management to ship up or ship out. I feel so much better and I smile all day.

Cons

HR is fake and so are the brothers. We were told to write a review since their ratings were getting very low. As I stated, people are leaving for a good reason. Most are stuck here due to laziness. Most people depend on companies like this, instead of taking charge and leaving. Yet others get a backbone and leave. This company is one of the worst. Don't be fooled by the smiles and fakery.

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.
