Pros
It is exciting to work in the cycling industry with a company such as Trek. The products that they develop are top notch and you can truly get behind them. They treat their customers really well and go the extra mile to make things right with them. The people who you work with, for the most part, are a great bunch to work with. They truly made you feel part of something bigger and that made you try harder. The fitness and health focus was also something very positive, as well as the casual culture and environment. The discount was very enticing and the area where the offices are situated are perfect for riding your bicycle when you had time. The biggest pro though, is the people who you work with and end up befriending.
Cons
The biggest negative, as many others have mentioned, is the level of compensation for the expectations put forth by management. No matter how hard or successful you were in meeting and beating stated goals, all you received was a very minimal (below cost of living) pay raise and more responsibility. It was very disheartening to hear the CEO say that it was the most profitable year in sales, that we hit the 1 billion dollar mark, and see budgets, salaries, staff, and perks slashed. Communication between management and the rest is not the greatest. Every year in surveys this topic would come up and management tries to rectify the issue without actually communicating what is going on. In the end that felt disingenuous and demotivated many people, in which case the CEO would turn around and tell people to leave if they didn't like it, since it's their fault for feeling like they are not getting the support needed. Management expects you to live and breathe your job, which would be fine if you were compensated as such. The place used to have a better culture, but with the high turnover and low morale that is happening, it feels as though it is slowly eroding what made it a great place to work.
