Pros

Working with some of the best athletic products in the business, across multiple sports lines and see next-generation technology being applied to sporting goods.

Cons

A company that cannot figure out innovation and has given up its leadership status to more nimble and savvy competitors. Wilson does NOT lead in any categories whereas they used to be a predominant force in tennis, golf, baseball and football. They have been consistently eclipsed by Nike, Reebok, Callaway and have even taken a back seat to "older" companies like Rawlings and Riddell. Incompetent management has led to 20 years of neglect.

Going downhill - especially morale

Pros

Fun products, really great co-workers, flexible schedule.

Cons

Upper management is disorganized. It seems like the company takes a new direction every few years. Morale was OK in the past, but once the move to downtown was announced, morale has been terribly low and management doesn't seem to care. Anyone living outside of Chicago (most employees) is looking at spending an additional 2 hours of travel each day. A lot of good people are seriously looking or planning on looking to leave soon. My rating of Work/Life Balance will drop from 5 stars after the move. Many recent layoffs and quite a few good people have quit recently.
