The main losers from this economic boom were the farmers, who saw an increase in production but not enough demand, which means they can't get enough money and afford to pay back loans (which many of them have). Many small business owners sold their shops to large businesses and became disillusioned of the government as the feel that the government offered them little.
Germany was getting stronger but was not strong enough to have any power compared to the allies.

The Weimar republic was able to gain respect for its ability to stabilize the country and had recovered. THe pact made germans resumed themselves that the political moderate parties could be trusted for ruling germany
Negative: As a result organizations such as the Wandervogel movement were a reaction to Weimar culture. It wanted to see more help for the countryside and less decadence in the towns. It was a powerful feeling, which the Nazi party successfully used in later years to influence.
Many people however in germany disapproved of the pact as it did nothing to end the hatred of the treaty of versailles
The support of the regime was still limited
