Pros

Id have to say the only 2 pros are the discount and getting to meet cool people here and there. Thats seriously it.

Cons

Where to start. Well besides making no money and having no life to ride you're motorcycle anymore. The company is now pushing only their exclusive brand "Bilt" over everything else. And the Bilt products honestly suck while you're told to basically lie to customers that they are getting a great quality item. The management is a complete Joke. from the store level to the district leader to the idiots sitting at a desk in corporate. Sales goals can be unrealistic, employees are constantly being let go or quitting. I had an issue with the store manager, reached out to corporate and basically was ignored. If they read this they know exactly who I am. Trust me its not the job you think it will be before you start. A true motorcycle enthusiast should skip this place. And if you're manager is anywhere near as evil as mine was goodluck staying out of Jail.

Pros

Great place to work if you enjoy motorcycling. Off-road, sport bike, cruiser, adventure, or anything with 2-3 wheels. You get to meet interesting people and talk about your passion every day. Career advancement has been pretty quick for me.

Cons

Pay during non peak hours can be a little lower if you’re not prepared for it.

Pros

Lots of freedom, good work environment, if you have your head in the game you will make money. In my opinion as well it is easy to move up in the company, you just have to do good and have passion and job offers will be offered to you through your employment here, As a full time employee you do receive MANY benefits as well.

Cons

Corporate could be better, stores need more support and we don't get it. Such as broken fixtures, displays, ect. If a store needs something it should not have to wait months to be approved. Commission could be better as well. It is decent at 3% but there are good days and bad days in this company just like all so with a higher commission % it would allow employees to have a more stable check and possibly even push sales associates to do even better as well.
