This was a great company to work for when they focused on making money. But the company went a new direction a few years ago after new members of upper management were placed, with the focus on spending as little as possible.

This new focus has employees performing the duties of 2-3 workers. Training is nearly nonexistent in nearly every level of the company. Worn out tools haven't been replaced several months after they should have been, which caused safety concerns and lower production. Any morale within the company has eroded. Very reluctant to advance employees, and when they do, it can take a few years for the raise associated with the promotion to take effect. They are not competitive with the current job market, as if they are crossing their fingers that nearby industries will start lowering their wages. Many fast-food places currently start with a higher wage for non-college required positions since the Covid pandemic.

It isn't all bad. Hours vary slightly depending on the job title, but usually a M-F 1st shift schedule. Insurance is paid 80% by the company and earned time off accumulates right after being hired. Fitness-related reimbursements of $300/yr. A monthly luncheon covered by the company, usually during a company-wide meeting. Some bright people in some roles, and hard workers in others, but as I already stated, the shift in the climate has really caused some damage to morale and production.

For me, I was lied to by HR about a possible shift in positions (to marketing-something I'm going to school for and had prior experience with), only to find out 9 months later it was just a cloud of smoke to keep me there. When I mentioned I wasn't happy, HR was requested to smooth things out. HR decided it was easier to let me go instead of doing their jobs.

I absolutely love working at this company! It’s a fun and laid-back environment where hard work is recognized and appreciated. The positive work culture fosters growth and truly values employee input. New ideas are always encouraged, and employees are empowered to find better ways of doing things. It genuinely feels like your voice is heard and valued here.

The “work hard, play hard” atmosphere is complemented by a casual dress code, making it a comfortable place to work. There are fantastic perks like free drinks, snacks, and coffee, plus a great break room with a lunch area and even an outdoor patio. It’s a wonderful place to grow and thrive!

As a lgbtq person, I essentially went back into the closet to work there. Coworkers were all clique-y former high school lacrosse/hockey players. Atmosphere was pretty friendly if you were similar to them. Management did a terrible job communicating between the needs of sales reps (external) and designers (internal), i.e. there was no internal art file system, and logos would get traced and retraced continually. Lots of looking busy without having work to do, or doing unnecessary tasks. It is a shame that their graphics and custom jersey department was closed, but to me it was pretty clear that it was the fault of management for not ensuring that it ran smoothly and was profitable.

Working at Warrior is an overall enjoyable experience. The environment is normally very relaxed and the focus on working as a team is #1.

Due to the relatively small size of the company, every member is afforded the ability to expand and try their hand at new and different things.

They offer great benefits and retirement options along with a very solid discount on Warrior/Brine equipment.

Due to their small size, their financial compensation can be seen as lacking, and the true options for advancement and specialization are limited.

Call center of 5 customer service representatives taking about 30 calls/order each day.

I learned a lot about sports equipment.

Management was unprofessional, if they didn't like you, you were treated poorly almost in a harassing fashion.

Everyone was afraid of the supervisor, so nobody talked because they did not want to get yelled at or on her bad side.

Trying to come in everyday with a positive attitude, only to be shut down for asking questions.

The only thing that was fun was when a Red Wings player would come in to pick up equipment.  But you weren't allowed to talk to them.

Train students in a holistic well-rounded manner (development of body, mind and soul) through the use of sports. Students are urged to continue education at the collegiate level, whether they participate in athletics or not. Provide additional outlet projects in the community for participants to engage and "pay it forward" by giving back.

The biggest challenge to my job is the lack of communication within our company, this makes it very tough at times to accomplish tasks. I do enjoy the people that I work with and have developed great professional relationships with them. Also working in the sporting industry I have had the chance to meet some professional athletes. Daily tasks of placing purchase orders and running sales reports I have become efficient with Microsoft Excel.

If you are in the click you are in if not you are shunned even if I demonstrated to perform as requested modifying the product to customer request to professional players and customers as Dicks sporting goods and other sports suppliers for professional players . I was really disappointed they didn’t compleat with the contract we had . I even applied for a job at the parent company not one response ! the short time I was there 25 percent of the engineers quit 

A typical day at work consisted of going through which orders to fulfill before end of day. Then making sure those were completed first.

i learned warehouse management software. how to manage a fair amount of employees and workload.

fun and fast paced environment

hardest part of the job was inventory maintenance.

most enjoyable part was the exercise.

CEO and HR have no clue on how to run a business. New Balance is the only reason the lights are still on. Sixty percent of the workers do an awesome job and make the business what it is today. Twenty percent just show up and hang out for a paycheck, the other Twenty percent is the horrible management.
