Pros

If you are into it, the deals on bike parts etc are great. Good people work there.

Cons

It's not how hard you work it's all about who you know and what you to to get along. Still a family owned company and it shows. President reads a new book and everyone has to read it and apply the principles. Never spend time to get it right just jump from latest book to latest book hoping for the magic bullet to fix everything.

Pros

- Amazing discounts on anything sold on trekbikes.com and other industry deals - Lots of ownership and autonomy - For onsite employees: access to gym, bike trails, and more - ESOP $ contributions (when the company is profitable) - Bikes are cool, lots of great products to be involved with. - Sustainability is a real value

Cons

- Lack of career growth opportunity or a career path. Little to no opportunity to move "up", opportunities are almost always "diagonal" on different teams - Stagnant salaries/minor raises. If you get promoted, your workload will outweigh your comp. increase - Pay varies widely within department–pay bands don't seem to exist - No performance reviews - I had no trust in the top executives - Lots of leadership buzzwords, not a lot of action. The company strategy seems to be whatever was read in the latest Simon Sinek book. - Very white demographic, almost exclusively white males at director level and above.

Pros

Trek corporate info and services were well organized, message consistent and clear, website training which was to be performed on your own time was quite good and well done. Unfortunately, shop managers instruct to use them only as a guideline. They push the hard sell instead.

Cons

Very little time for lunch let alone training other than website and that is expected to be performed on your own time. No quality control on bicycle building or repairs, reports of wheels falling off and handlebars giving way. Not at all the consistent with the image the company projects.
