Reebok Reviews

Pros

The free gym membership is great. The Sports Club is also a great place to network and make new contacts.

Cons

Pay increase is definitely necessary. There isn't much room for growth. It's definitely a "who you know" rather than "what you know" environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership should promote from within to those who are actually qualified versus those who they have a better relationship with. There should also be more flexibility in regards to time off.

Pros

Great campus facilities in a beautiful location - gym plus variety of exercise classes - yoga, spin etc. there are some amazingly talented people here that are a pleasure to work with. Lots of exciting opportunities within certain teams - global travel, work with celebrities or sports people, creative work etc Lots of training courses available.

Lack of leadership at a senior level has resulted in a disorganised structure within some departments and most importantly, compromised employee job satisfaction.

Great facilities, great benefits and perks, friendly environment and laid back. Not necessary to work loads of overtime hours, and 15 days of vacation is alot for the US.

Cons

corporate design studio's are always hard to get used to. if you aren't on the good side of the higher ups you may never be promoted.

Advice to Senior Management

management is getting better and better as the brand continues to grow. as it gets larger, communication goes through more and more links though, causing miscommunication.

Pros

Generous product discount, flexibility (doctor's appointments, etc.), casual atmosphere, fun people, excellent fitness center to use, beautiful building and campus

Cons

This is a great place to work, but you have to be able to stand staying in your job for many years before you can think of getting promoted. We recently did an employee engagement survey, company wide, and this was a common theme - employees consistently say they can not identify areas for career growth. Additionally, pay is very below market - this may be evened out by good benefits, but I know for a fact the same job I have now at 2 of our competitors pays minimum $15k more. People won't stay for long when the realize they can make more somewhere else - after a while the "cool" factor of working there wears off.

Advice to Senior Management

It seems you are nobody unless you work in marketing. All other divisions seem to go unnoticed by senior management, which is unfortunate because we work hard!

Pros

sports, heritage, fun positioning, opportunity within adidas group

Cons

stress, huge politics, lack of consistency, don't stick to long term vision

Advice to Senior Management

none

Pros

Recognizable brand. Fun atmosphere. Confident and knowledgeable senior leadership. Good opportunity for career advancement. Good work-life balance. Ability to identify with and represent at least one department or product within the global brand. Great facility at headquarters!

Cons

Benefits compared to other companies in this industry are not as good. Lack of job enrichment and growth opportunities. A lot of mid-level managers lacking knowledge and expertise in their departments. Seems to hold on to a lot of people that just "float" in their roles; not offering the opportunity for someone below them to move in and actually add value.

Advice to Senior Management

Career/job growth: Create more opportunity for those happy/content in their current roles to expand on their expertise without having to change positions or departments.
Allow all designers to have input on a project instead of selecting just one project group/team.
