Pros

Working at Ragnar WAS my favorite job and I loved working there and spent a lot of my career there. Open PTO is great as long as you get your work done, fee travel after you work super hard at races, and it used to have great people that worked there.

Cons

Terrible leadership. The current CEO was chosen because he's a man and the because the entire board is made up of only men. The only thing that made him qualified to be put in the CEO role, was that he started the company. He has poor leadership skills and can't make a solid decision with his life dependent on it. Then, he let go of all the people he didn't like and put people in positions who had no business being in those positions. He pushed out good, hardworking people that would have done anything for the brand. Decisions are made based on feelings and not data. Pay is extremely low for the amount of stress that is involved. They could not care less about their employees.

Pros

Large opportunity to learn a lot, with a ton of control in your own hands. The experience I gained from building and executing large events at Ragnar was invaluable. Company was always very supportive.

Cons

That same level of freedeom and responsibility could lead to anxiety, burnout, etc. At times, management also had a high workload, which made it hard to find someone to work with to ease those feelings of being overloaded.
