Pros

It is a brand I was very proud to represent. I love their products, even years later. I loved interacting with external and internal consumers, I loved most people that work at NB during my tenure. The people was fantastic to work with. Employee benefits were amazing. The pay was semi decent.

Cons

Once you are put in a managerial position, the hunger games begin. Too much gossip and judgement when you're learning a new role. They put you in a box that even if years have passed and you have mastered your role, you will always be that person who once messed up. You will not see a promotion, and then each year they will hit you with a 3% merit increase, or less.
