Pros

Some of the people are nice but most come of as fake. If you like triathlon you might be happy here. Company seems to be growing but it's hard to trust what you hear here. There seems to be very little competition in this market, seems hard to not do well with decent product.

Cons

From what I've heard and have seen a bit with my own eyes, the best people always leave and locals remain for the easy commute or whatev. Salaries are brutal but I guess that's what you get for Long Island or maybe it is the company. Heard the company relocated from California a few years ago to Long Island? Who would do that when you're in this industry? Almost every job I've searched for in similar industries, I love to swim, are out west where they belong. The company's persona still acts as if it's in california when it's only a warehouse out there. Very poor leadership across sales and the so-called "marketing" department, that doesn't seem to do any real marketing, and it seems like the execs have no time for anyone like they're curing cancer. You guys sell swimsuits, get over yourselves and act like you care about your employees, please. This place seems more like a stepping stone to a company that can offer a real career.

Pros

My experience has been very positive. The company feels like it’s in a strong growth phase with great traction, which creates a lot of opportunity to make an impact early on. There’s a high level of autonomy in the day-to-day, making it a great environment if you’re someone who likes to take initiative, spearhead projects, and bring new ideas to the table. It’s definitely a fast-paced and evolving workplace, so being adaptable and proactive is key. Overall, it’s a strong fit for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to contribute to a growing brand.

Cons

Fast-paced environment may not be for everyone. Processes are still evolving in some areas.

Pros

TYR is a brand that consumers genuinely love and trust. It has strong credibility in the market and is continuing to build momentum across key product categories. You are working with a brand that already resonates with customers, which is a real advantage. There is a very clear and intentional focus on digital expansion. The business is leaning into eCommerce, Amazon, and broader digital channels in a way that is building a true flywheel — product, storytelling, marketing, and customer experience all working together to drive growth. What stands out is that the right investments are being made to support that growth. The company is investing in the team, in systems, and in marketing to ensure the foundation is in place. This is not a case of trying to grow without support — the infrastructure is being built alongside the ambition. That digital focus is increasing brand exposure directly where customers are. The business is getting closer to the consumer, improving how it shows up across channels, and creating a more connected and consistent experience. The people are a real strength. The team is hardworking, engaged, and wants to win. There is a strong sense of ownership, and when aligned, the organization can move quickly and make meaningful progress. You have the ability to make an impact. This is not a heavily layered organization — if you take ownership and execute, your work will be seen and will matter. There is also an entrepreneurial mindset across the company. New ideas are welcomed, and there is room to build, improve, and help shape how the business operates going forward. The pace is fast, but for the right person, that creates energy, learning, and real opportunity for growth.

Cons

As the company continues to scale, there is still an opportunity to build more consistency in processes and cross-functional alignment. With multiple initiatives underway, prioritization can continue to sharpen to ensure focus remains on the highest-impact areas. Systems and tools are evolving, and while that is a positive long term, it can create some near-term inefficiencies as new capabilities are implemented. TYR is in a strong position with a brand consumers believe in, a clear digital expansion strategy, and the right investments being made to support growth. For someone who wants to be part of a growing company, contribute meaningfully, and help drive a more modern, consumer-focused business, it is a very compelling opportunity.
