Pros
The mechanics and shop staff are hardworking, helpful, and easy to work with. Across other teams, there are some smart, dedicated coworkers who care deeply about doing good work and supporting one another.
You will gain exposure quickly and learn a lot, largely because you are forced to figure things out without much structure or support.
Cons
Leadership & Management Style
Leadership is dominated by founders whose focus appears to be personal gain rather than building a fair, sustainable company. Management relies on intimidation rather than accountability: yelling at employees, joking about it afterward, and taking pride in being intimidating.
Culture & Communication
Communication is indirect and passive-aggressive; questions raised privately are often addressed later via company-wide emails instead of directly. Employees are frequently spoken over, mocked in meetings, or ignored. Leadership makes inappropriate comments about employees’ food choices and appearances, creating an uncomfortable environment that has driven multiple people to leave. High turnover is normalized and even joked about rather than addressed.
Compensation & Growth
Raises and promotions are extremely rare, and even minor compensation adjustments can take months. Requests for raises or PTO are often met with irritation, as though neither is truly earned.
PTO & Benefits
PTO and benefits have been cut multiple times. Employees are also discouraged from using their allotted vacation days.
