Pros

- 50% discount on UA merchandise. - More overtime than you could possibly imagine. - Health + Dental benefits after probationary period is completed. - Incompetent employee's are regularly weeded out. - Promotion is likely if effort is shown in learning equipment/software. - The company will occasionally offer lunch, shirts (those with defects), and "armour days" which are usually sporting events free to employees. - Wages are adequate, with occasional bonuses.

Cons

- A probationary period of 90 days: meaning that you cannot request a day off, lateness is monitored and barely tolerated, no health insurance, also no extra PTO (paid time off) days for working minor holidays. - 30 minute lunch breaks, tough when you do not bring a packed lunch. - Working 30-60 days in succession, without a day off is common. - Multiple departments often need to occupy the same aisles as each other, leading to a general inefficiency in all those involved. - A computer controlled conveyor system runs throughout the warehouse, which often breaks/stalls which brings all departments to a crawl. - If working in departments that utilize industrial equipment, be prepared for daily equipment break downs and a general shortage of availability. - Under Armour has a massive temp employee population working in their distribution house, a edge against layoffs, but most seem unmotivated. - Communication with non-english speaking temp employees is difficult. - Safety equipment is generally adequate, but condition is generally awful. - There is no heating/AC in the warehouse. - Parking is a minor issue. - Bathrooms are just awful.

Pros

-I get to work with a manager who has been in the business for many years and has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share that with me. -I get to work on product and innovate material options for each footwear category. -I have been able to travel to various material shows as well as see production in Asia.

Cons

-I am one of few with a materials background. -There are many inexperienced or unqualified people in many positions. -There is a general lack of communication and accountability on a day to day basis.

Pros

Strong ability to advance quickly. However, personality counts more than technical ability. Praise all processes and make the management team feel competent and you'll be successful.

Cons

You will have a hard time making process improvements without offending someone. Prepare to take on responsibilities for which you have no experience.
