New Balance Employer Reviews

Day at work included interviewing departments to create VSM

i learned i could push myself. generally i opened the day and set up for the day to come. my manager and i would have challenges against each other. who could out sell who. he taught me how to push myself even more. my manager was a great teacher and boss..

New Balance is a company that practices discrimination and racism within its wall of business. You can simply look at its executive staff and you will understand. This is the very reason why Nike will remain dominant among ethic youth, when attending events we see our ethic groups are well represented at Nike. I encouraged everyone to see what I see...STOP – more... PURCHASING NEW BALANCE PRODUCTS! – less

Assisting customers with footwear. Hours are all over the place. The management is awesome. Great if you have kids at home or another job. Very flexible. Co-workers are younger and more laid back. Very fun place to work. The pay is low, but it's a retail job.

I enjoy working for New Balance up to this point in time. The people are very friendly including upper management and the owners. I have very few negative opinions towards this company. The only things that come to mind that I disliked about the job was that there is no commission based pay like many other shoe stores which means minimum wage is an – more... awful pay rate to start at. The shifts can be very slow and dull depending on which store you work at but the working atmosphere is usually a pleasant one. – less

Not a horrible place to work but the retail division is a complete mess. No organization of who you should contact above you (aside from HR, etc.) The position was advertised to me differently than it was after I accepted, and I feel that I've wasted my time there. I've also experienced blunt favoritism in the workplace which I am really not a fan of. – more... Also you get emails constantly, very few of which somebody at the store level should have their hands on. I understand the retail division is fairly "new," but this company seriously needs to figure out how to run a business. Also, I feel like everyone I've dealt with in upper management has their own agenda of what "needs" to get done. The product received, in comparison to product requested for customers is often completely different- and nobody will give you a reason as to why they won't listen to your requests. It's a bit like a parent telling their child they can't do something "just because." That, and you'll ask a district manager a question- and rather than answering- they'll give you 8 or 9 email addresses to contact and send you on a wild goose chase.

For a company with a fantastic reputation for being a good place to work, and with a product as stellar as the one they sell... New Balance really needs to get their thinking caps on and hire some actually experienced upper management folks to get their act together. – less

Great people, really good team environment and interesting work as far as I am concerned. There is just a good "vibe" here, meaning I was able to work hard and enjoy being part of it. I would recommend this place to anyone and would work here permanently in a heartbeat if I could. My co-workers were a mix of ages and experiences but staff turnover in – more... my section was so slow I would have no chance of going permanent. – less

Great job, but too slow. Not enough hours. As employees we had to know a lot about the running shoes we were selling. Management was great. I have no complaints about any of my coworkers or managers.

Responsibilities include gaining and retaining a working knowledge of current and past merchandise, assisting customers by sizing feet and discussing foot health, properly fitting customers in the appropriate shoe for condition or need, cash handling, general computer software knowledge, internet skills and light housekeeping

Management was exellent. The work was fast pace and fun. Helping customers find what they needed felt good. The hours were decent and my coworkers were very friendly. The hardest part of the job was keeping things stocked on the opening day of tent sale. The most enjoyable part was dealing with the public.

NB used to be a great place to work, but things have changed so much.

A typical day at New Balance, involves restocking, shipping/recieving, and providing excellent customer service. So far here, I have learned about all the different technologies New Balance offers in their shoes, along with the apparel and accesories. Management is easy to talk to, and actively seeks your input on how things are going. Coworkers- are – more... nice and available for assistance/questions, and work together! The most enjoyable part of the job, is working with all kinds of people and gaining all of the knowledge! – less
