Business outlook

Pros

Very talented team members and well-known reputable brand names and products to work with in the aftermarket automotive industry. Over 20 aftermarket automotive brands were owned by FBG. At one point before 2026, very large customer base to work. Opportunities with customers were unlimited when product was available. Many opportunities to work with a variety of departments and collaboration amongst peers all over the globe.

Cons

Corrupt ownership. Unethical. Immoral. Poor leadership. Poor health insurance offerings with very high deductibles. No 401 K matching program. Little to no raises. Almost no career advancement. Lies about inventory and payments being made.
