Pros

Company is on a trajectory of growth. Great potential in the atheltic market.

Cons

There is definately a corporate 'boys club' If you are not one of the boys forget it! A crushing 'get 'er done' / 'find a way' attitude. You can't climb the corporate ladder if you are not perceived to be a 'crusher' in the work force. Asking for help is perceived as failing. There isn't a strong career path to set employees up for success. Not enough support given to employees to help them succeed. Lots of turnover at the Sr. Management positions. Extremely difficult corporate culture to become part of. Not inclusive of people who don't fit the perceived mold. Company preaches innovation but when different ideas are expressed they can be immediately silenced if not what a Sr. Executive wants to hear.

Pros

Started as a part-time employee at a factory house during college. I was selected as a summer rookie - Great program, learned all I could about UA, loved it and UA loved me. Finished my Master's and UA hired me for a full time position. Low salary, but I relocated, loved the job, loved Baltimore, loved most of the people I worked with & still keep in touch with them! Great location, healthy environment with discounted gym membership, fun corporate events and 50% discount on UA product.

Cons

I was encouraged and complimented on my work (also told I was leader among my peers in my end of year review). I was also invited to travel with Sales Managers to multiple accounts later throughout the year... only to be "let go" just before I was there 1 year (just before raise and bonus time, hmmm) Weeks later, I found out this happened to about 20-30 others but was kept very quiet to those still employed at UA... still unsure how they got away with it but had I come from a wealthier family, I would have without a doubt hired a lawyer to investigate further. Months later, I was replaced and did some investigative work to find out that my "replacement" is making even less than I was... so basically letting a bunch of us go, to re-hire someone for less was a great way to save some money... but I find it very unethical.
