Pros

Working at Spartan allows you to significantly expand your skillset. Unlimited PTO for Salaried staff.

Cons

During my time at Spartan, I was offered promotions twice, only to have them rescinded both times. The company often struggles to pay its contractors, with many going up to six months without compensation. The organizational structure is confusing, creating many gray areas that are difficult to navigate. Additionally, the CEO is not the most professional; for example, he once referred to those who identify as they/them as "weird" and suggested they should adhere to specific pronouns. I frequently found it challenging to understand my role, as it seemed like the strategy changed daily, often requiring me to take on tasks outside my job description, like obtaining EMT certifications instead of focusing on my actual responsibilities. Moreover, it felt like every year brought new layoffs, making it seem like I was part of an ongoing "open season" for job insecurity.

Pros

- None But in all seriousness the best part of working here are the people you work with, the product you are a part of, and the travel that comes along with it.

Cons

If you are looking for a company that values your time, the effort you put in, and employee wellness, then run don't walk, AWAY from Spartan Race. Upper Management are all either former military drop outs or friends of the CEO. The pay is criminally low, employees are dismissed with no warning, double standards are lurking around every corner, and to top it all off, the company never seems to have any money to pay its bills or employees. Company culture and values are not something you will find here, much like a functional HR department or working health insurance. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
