Pros

After working at UA anywhere else you work will be a cakewalk

Cons

UA is the most hectic, unorganized, uncreative place on earth. Most of what you will do is try to undercut/rip-off what other brands did 2 years ago and implement "innovations" that don't do anything except help sell more products to their naive consumer base.

Pros

The gym, the discount, the pay is ok. Probably a great place to work if you were a male college athlete.

Cons

A horrible place to work if you were not a male college athlete Have you ever gone jogging in a college neighborhood and accidentally jogged by a frat house? And all the guys leer and hollar and hoot? Ok, those guys are all your bosses. HR is useless. If you need to go talk to HR while your there, just get up from your seat, smack yourself in the face, and sit back down. There, you've saved yourself an hour and a trip down the stairs. Long hours. Inefficiency. Lots of people leaving and coming. People are all young and think they are still in college. It's in Baltimore.

Pros

The medical/health benefits package is great. IT Management was flexible with PTO and working from home. Beautiful new campus in Port Covington. Ample job training was provided.

Cons

Full time staff members are being replaced by consultants. If you are lucky/determined enough to get through the hiring process (which tends to take several weeks), you will not find job security on the other side. Tenure has no significance to IT management. Even if you had 9+ years of knowledge and experience at Under Armour, your position can easily be cut, despite the fact that the company is "constantly growing" and is "full of opportunities." In 2015/2016, IT leadership moved towards hiring friends/former colleagues for nearly all new management positions-half of a dozen employees are from ONE particular company. This unethical business practice has been entirely overlooked with no consequences from HR and global leadership. Several other former/current teammates reference this occurence in other glassdoor reviews, yet nothing has been done. Salaries are significantly lower than other organizations in the area-be prepared to haggle for every penny. Employees are asked to find a way and go above and beyond the normal 40 hour work week and then promised career growth and prosperity, but for the most part, these promises go unfulfilled. It is extremely sad to see the IT department struggle so much due to budget constraints, being unstaffed, and unsatisfied with management.
