Pros

High energy, travel opportunities, working in the outdoor fitness industry is fun and inspiring

Cons

Leadership team in Spartan has no loyalty to employees and treats everyone like a number. Other than the core club of VP's and C suite folks, anyone else can be unceremoniously fired and replaced by a cheaper alternative at a moments notice. Employees are expected to be available 24/7 and severe burnout is a reality. The treatment of employees during the pandemic has been less than favorable. Because of the core club in leadership, promotion opportunities are almost impossible - most people that leave Spartan on their own do so because they hit the ceiling.

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.
