Pros

-Great people on my team and on the teams in my immediate area. -Benefits are pretty good except for Vision. Not extensive enough provider coverage. -A lot of talent here hungry to make a mark and move the brand forward. -Start up/entrepreneurial like atmosphere which can be good and bad. Potential to start something new but with a lot of frustrations along the way. -Some great pro athlete sponsorships add clout and brand recognition. Steph Curry, Cam Newton, Misty Copeland... -fun water taxi to main HQ in Baltimore -Kevin Plank can be very charismatic and energizing.

Cons

-Constant change at the top leadership team. It's instability creates a trickle-down effect. -Employee discount: Meh. Not much I would want to wear--apparel has little personality and the materials don't feel nice against the skin; feel cheap. I guess it's fine if you want the giant logo on your chest. -Shoes are getting better than the days where they looked really out of style and outlet copies of Nike. Even then I have a hard time finding something I want to pay -50% on. -Leadership tends to hire in their likeness (white males). Doesn't lend itself to a lot of diversity.

Pros

Under Armour is a young, fast paced, team oriented company, where hard work is expected, but also well rewarded. One of our most impactful mantras is to think like an entrepreneur. This gives everyone from top to bottom, the opportunity (and responsibility) to make the company better! This can come in many forms, but speaking from my own experience, I've been allowed to build a team from scratch and define it's structure in, what I believe to be, an innovative way. In my 16+ years of corporate work, I can confidently say that I've never seen a culture quite like ours!

Cons

Like any young company where things are still being defined, structure and process can be a bit lacking. But those with the drive will find that this is actually a plus, as it gives plenty of opportunity for ownership and the ability to define ones own future.

Pros

Enthusiastic workers. Iconic Brand. Employee discounts on all products.

Cons

High Turnover rate in upper management means the company reorganizes itself at least once a year. It also means lack of consistency in priorities and goals. Senior leaders like to micro-manage. Frequent hiring freezes to achieve budget goals means you must pick up extra work when a co-worker leaves. However, these freezes do not limit the number of senior leaders who will be hired.
