Soul crushing place to work

Pros

You can get UA's overpriced product for 50% off, It's a good brand to have on the resume.

Cons

Terrible C-suite that micromanages every aspect of the business, leading to nothing much of anything getting done. VPs end up taking the blame even though they are handcuffed by incompetence above them. Junior level staff are taken advantage of, expected to work ridiculous hours, pick up slack caused by the constant turnover. No reward or promotion for doing that because "it is expected to take on more work". Promotions go to those in the "in crowd", doesn't matter about the quality of there work or there ability to perform at the next level. If you are friends with the right people, not a complete idiot, work 60-70 hours a week, and do it with the enthusiasm of a cult follower then you may be successful at Under Armour. Otherwise this is a terrible place to go. Don't listen to the recruiters who say to discount bad reviews, don't listen to them about bonus expectations. In a great year you may get your bonus target, in a really good year you will get 50-70%, in just a good year you may not get anything.

Overworked, underpaid, culture non-existent

Pros

Employee discount and health coverage

Cons

Work life balance does not exist, and employees are underpaid. There is no "culture" whatsoever, and the "culture" that does exist is a joke. Management is terrible and HR sweeps problems under the carpet. With this whole "me too" movement, certain male employees were only fired because the news became public....the wrongdoings were well known within the company and nothing was ever done prior. I've seen it go from bad to worse in ten years, and the company just keeps taking a nosedive. The company is also now forcing it's political views on you giving Nike a run for their money. people are dropping like flies!!!! If you want to be thrown to the wolves, this is the place for you.

Pros

I like to equate working for UA's creative department at the HQ like getting a new place in a really fancy apartment building. There's an awesome lobby with a huge gym and beautiful pool, lots of amenities, but the apartment itself you're renting isn't all that great. The pros are the 50% you get, the free clothes, the exciting and young environment that keeps up with pop culture. Also a big pro is being able to say you work at UA and put that on your resume, probably the best part.

Cons

Honestly I was promised room to grow and there never was any. I was sold on the idea that it was very easy and acceptable to switch between teams if you felt a better fit on another team, but that wasn't the case.
