Pros

Discounts on bikes and other related items. Drinking on the job.

Cons

Leadership tries to act like the cool kids in school instead of like compassionate, servant leaders. They will stab you in the back as quickly as they pretend to be your friend. Don't listen and only look after themselves or those in the clich. Childish. CFO actually runs the company not the CEO and he is worst of all. Do as I say not as I do. Immature, rude, petty, and ruthless. There are multiple rumors around about affairs between top leadership. So glad I'm gone. My boss had no idea what I was doing and only cared about herself. Selfish and arrogant!! RUN AWAY...

Pros

Great co-workers. Excellent cafeteria. Nice 401K match. Rustic commute from Madison. Employee discount.

Cons

Managers are promoted beyond their abilities(especially in sales), which has created a system in which highly skilled professionals are being managed by individuals with no management skills. Pay is poor for the skill-set provided. As an Engineering intern, you might get the hands-on experience of hauling metal shavings from the machine shop to the dumpster. (maybe you will get the bonus experience of breaking down cardboard) There is a constant battle for the correct tools and resources to execute projects. Time off/vacation was never encouraged...and even discouraged. Everybody is "drinking the Cool-aid", so when real consumer issues occur, they are swept under the rug, and dismissed as "a bad apple", because Trek is clearly the best. (HUGE customer service problem). Turnover has become incredibly high because younger people catch on pretty quickly to the culture. When concerns are voiced to management, the email magically "disappears" or it was never delivered. I worked at Trek 20+ years and the CEO would rarely say "hello", and would not be able to remember my name if he was in the final stages of Jeopardy.
