Pros

- The people here are great and everyone really does become good friends. - Going to the races and seeing that side of the brand is really amazing - I was a healthier person when I worked here, because everyone else is so it makes going to the gym and eating well easy

Cons

- Leadership is horrible. The CEO just hires all of his friends, regardless of their level of experience. - Leadership doesn't listen to the people who are in the day-to-day and throw money at consultants who shake things up for 4-6 months then leave - Fast paced is an understatement, decisions are made and change within hours and teams are supposed to pivot in the final minutes of something, but still execute exactly the same.

Pros

Travel, flexibility, a lot of opportunities to develop leadership

Cons

They take advantage of you by expecting to train people above you. Any type of growth is stripped based on your location and not performance. Pay-cuts constantly happening and budget cuts.
