Pros

Id have to say the only 2 pros are the discount and getting to meet cool people here and there. Thats seriously it.

Cons

Where to start. Well besides making no money and having no life to ride you're motorcycle anymore. The company is now pushing only their exclusive brand "Bilt" over everything else. And the Bilt products honestly suck while you're told to basically lie to customers that they are getting a great quality item. The management is a complete Joke. from the store level to the district leader to the idiots sitting at a desk in corporate. Sales goals can be unrealistic, employees are constantly being let go or quitting. I had an issue with the store manager, reached out to corporate and basically was ignored. If they read this they know exactly who I am. Trust me its not the job you think it will be before you start. A true motorcycle enthusiast should skip this place. And if you're manager is anywhere near as evil as mine was goodluck staying out of Jail.

Pros

Great place to work if you enjoy motorcycling. Off-road, sport bike, cruiser, adventure, or anything with 2-3 wheels. You get to meet interesting people and talk about your passion every day. Career advancement has been pretty quick for me.

Cons

Pay during non peak hours can be a little lower if you’re not prepared for it.

Pros

Discounts. That is about it

Cons

Self centered manager that barely showed up, and when he showed up maybe once a week on time the rest was always around 2-3pm. His first introduction to us was that we were all "replaceable" He left once on a busy Saturday to go dirtbiking with his friends, came back right at close in slides and shorts to close and left Multiple times of taking days off on vacation back out days. He now manages the newest "flagship store"... Good luck! Also the commission is an absolute joke, smaller stores make $500 plus commission every two weeks with some topping over $1000 dollars. Meanwhile the "flagship store" you make .004 percent.... That's $12 dollars every $3000 dollars you sell in your ZONE. Absolute joke of a company and a joke of a store.
