Trek Bicycle reviews

I got fired for taking "too much" time off after it was approved in a pto request... The management here is pathetic ime and they always push this great places to work survey where they would basically force you to fill it out on the clock while they watch to pressure you to speak favorable. The benefits were extremely expensive for how much I was paid here. You fact that neither sales or service makes any commission is absolutely ridiculous. You make so little to sell tens of thousands of dollars of bikes and bike stuff each day with no incentives. The service side is always hustling to pump out several repairs each day with no incentive again. This company pretends to care about its employees, but they were one of the first to force vaccine mandates, without due diligence on their own part. They care only about their bottom line. You won't move up unless you learn how to be a pawn and walking advertisement.

**Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job responsibilities and daily tasks, but like many other employees at Trek, I was extremely underpaid.** Trek is very understaffed due to high turnover rates and constant layoffs. Losing a person meant no replacement hired, and that person's work was split up and distributed to the other people in the department. Salaried employees are supposed to work 40 hours a week, M- F from (approx.) 8 am to 5 pm, and are not eligible for overtime pay, All deadlines are to be met and required work needs to be completed on time each week - even as your workload continued to grow larger and larger. That meant having to work Many extra hours every week, usually 8 am to 10 pm Monday through Thursday, with a few small breaks during the day, and sometimes having to work past 5 pm on Fridays and needing to do a few hours of work on the weekends as well. It was impossible to not fall behind each week if you didn't work extra-extra long days. In the end, salaried at $60k/year for 40 hour weeks broke down to more like $19/hour. Trek does not know how to respectfully treat, compensate, or show any real appreciation to their employees!
