Pros

There is a great sports culture at the company, and the company wants to win. Benefits and pay are competitive. There is opportunity for growth, but only to a certain point (see below).

Cons

There is a ton of leadership churn at the company. The most senior leaders at the company are friends of the CEO, and new senior executives are brought in from the outside, they do not have confidence in their internal talent. UA is less than fair with their noncompete clauses. The terms of these agreement are broad, but entirely legal. This is the only company that I have ever worked for where I would strongly recommend that you ask to see all of the paperwork before you accept an offer, and consult an employment attorney. Understand what you are agreeing to, and how it might effect you in the future upon either voluntary or involuntary termination.

Pros

In the right department, you can travel quite a bit and learn a lot about how NOT to run a $5b business. In most departments, you will encounter no room for career growth. In fact, the stated position of the company is that you need to blaze your own trail for a career path.

Cons

This is a company trying to grow in a race to the bottom. The brand's only growth is in Europe and emerging markets, and those are places that do not see UA as a premium brand. The push is to enter lower and lower price points, at higher and higher margin to satisfy shareholders and leadership. Once upon a time, this place was aspiring to be Nike; Today, they are succeeding in becoming Champion and Reebok of the early 1990's. Almost everyone has to sign a non compete, which is exceptionally broad and, recently, always enforced. Word is out on the street that UA enforces the NCA's, so it is very difficult to get out of the company. Be warned...

Pros

Willing to think outside the box when it comes to technology. Of course the 50% discount is a bonus. Great healthcare at a very reasonable rate compared to what I have paid in the past. Great location at either office (Port Covington or Tide Point).

Cons

Behind in technology, way behind. Outsourcing Services seems to be a theme without much thought to what they are getting for what they are paying.
