Pros

Cool product and interesting business.

Cons

Your experience will vary wildly depending on who your manager is. Unfortunately, mediocrity runs rampant through upper management with no changes in sight, especially in Motorsports. A serious lack of innovation, poor product line, no future of investment from Japan, and a Boys Club in upper management unfortunately does not signal a bright future for this group. A cool product line is completely wasted on them. To top if off, company-wide there is little to no career progression possible with the way the company is structured. Until there is major upper management turnover, stay away.

Pros

Great workplace, great coworkers, and great culture if you’re passionate about the powersports industry. The benefits are good, 401k match is good.

Cons

Pay compensation could be a little better, but this industry is cyclical. When the economy is good, raises and bonuses are easier to obtain. During tough times that affect the industry as a whole, things can get lean, but understandably so.
