Pros

Bike trails behind headquarters. Great product line. Employee cafe, health center, and gym are all big benefits. Lots of really nice people. Great focus on wellness.

Cons

Under the guise of fun and flexible, there is a serious lack of quality training, role resources, and guidance. While feedback is considered a gift, there is no standard process for delivering that feedback nor are there regular compensation reviews. There is a severe lack of diversity. While the hiring managers are encouraged to diversify their teams, very little real action is taken. Credit is often given to individuals not responsible for the work. Team members are expected to accept that as being a team player. The company has grown quickly without putting proper policies, training, and procedures in place. Team members are often expected to do the work of four people.

Pros

The people you work with are awesome. If you don't make some lifelong friends here, you're probably doing something wrong.

Cons

A few years ago, there was a change at TREK. It didn't happen quickly, but the culture started to change as the industry started to return to pre-covid business. Many of the people that helped shape TREK's amazing culture started to leave. Those that stayed endure brutal layoffs and report to people that now exist in their positions only for their own self-interest. You have to understand that TREK was not a company that many people used to leave. The direction of the company feels uncertain. Leadership seems to care little about retaining long term employees. They have let so many people go in different fields that a lot of day-to-day operations seem to slow down. Purchasing customers also led to a major shift in how the company runs today. It's much less calculated, and directional changes in how the company operates seem to happen with no notice and with poor planning. TREK will eventually find it's path forward, but it's doing so at a steep cost - the loss of dedicated and loyal employees that were there for the mission and future of the company. They brought integrity, (real) brutal honesty and vision for what the company could be. The only thing keeping TREK in it's market leading position today is simply how poorly the rest of the cycling industry is doing right now.
