NASCAR is not for everyone

Pros

The pay is very good for the area, benefits are decent. If you are a fan you can enjoy the some of the perks that come with working here. If you like to travel you may enjoy this position more then others.

Cons

Culture is fragmented - large divide between small group at top and the rest of the company. It is a combination of the family business I enjoyed 15 years ago and has blended into a very tiered culture - directors and above leverage their positions to keep upcoming employees in their place. Their quote "Do more with less" is taken seriously. Expect to work to the breaking point, management no longer values the family work balance - job first. Since this is a family business the group that runs it "family friends" are insulated from the rest of the company. If you are not part of this group expect to have to deal with unrealistic demands. They have grown fast and have done a poor job keeping the company values that once made it a great place to work.

Pros

Despite the problems in structure and culture, the motorsports industry is very interesting the work for. It is not often that you walk through your office and you run into Richard Petty in the hallway and have to point him to the restroom. Travel to the tracks is fun (in the beginning) and the live environment makes the job challenging.

Cons

Complete incompetence of middle management. If you are not a director or higher (or a close friend of one) you are not worth squat, your opinion does not matter and your skills are, by default, insignificant. I have worked with some very smart people in non-management positions and all share the same view. Cronyism is rampant within the company, leading to some very unqualified people in fairly powerful positions.

Pros

For the first few years very good place to work. Time off if needed. Work hours were good, with some overtime.

Cons

Departmental leadership was very poor, was told more than once that the company had a stack of resumes for my position and I could be replaced if I didnt like it.
