Great beginning with gut-wrenching ending
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.
