Pros

This job was full of pros. Great pay, great benefits, great people, amazing products, amazing facility and gym, food, hotel, and travel paid for when you leave home. Of all jobs I've had post college this one was my favorite. I love that they support the community and foster a fun work culture full of bright minds. If you enjoy fast paced non stop work and travel then this is the best place to be.

Cons

Unfortunately, there is quite a few of these as well. If you are on the outside sales team just expect to work around the clock and never have a full day off. The work life balance for someone who doesn't work in home office is next to none, long hours on weekends, tons of travel, scheduled 6 days weekly (even your day off count on spending 1/4 of your day doing something work related), even when I took vacation time I still had to be on conference calls, lots of pressure on numbers, bonuses are extremely hard to hit, and a lot of ware on your personal car. The job itself was just very taxing and stressful, even beyond how much fun it was. It also did not help that all sales departments got their pay cut 20% in the beginning of 2015. That was the last thing we needed with how much work, love, and effort we put into our jobs. This job is perfect for someone who does not have a passion to go to school and just wants to get promoted out of a specialty retail store or to do a job outside of this industry. But if you want to see your family often and have free time to do the other things in life that you enjoy, then I recommend you look elsewhere for employment. Overall though I had a fantastic experience and I am forever thankful for how much it helped me grow as a professional and as a man.

Pros

Free energy drinks and merch.

Cons

This is one of the worst companies I’ve ever worked for. The “best place to work” recognition does not reflect the reality of what many employees experience. During my time in this company the culture is driven by favoritism and a lack of accountability. Leadership roles are often filled by individuals who lack the necessary qualifications, while others are consistently overlooked without clear or honest explanations. Performance and merit are not the deciding factors for advancement. There is a consistent pattern of poor management, little to no training, and zero accountability for bad leadership decisions. Instead of building a professional and supportive environment, the culture rewards fitting a certain image over actual capability. I also observed ongoing inequities in advancement opportunities. Many BIPOC and LGBTQ+ employees were given vague or inconsistent reasons for not progressing within the company, while white employees / white hiring candidates advanced more easily. Over time, these patterns became difficult to ignore. Overall, the environment felt toxic, frustrating, and discouraging. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering working here carefully evaluate whether this is the right fit no matter what role you are applying.
