Pros

- Great EP pricing -Monetary Benefits (matching 401, medical, dental, vision, bonus) -Attracts some really cool people to work there -Company ride once or twice a year -If OT or faster-paced work is required, some of the managers are willing to advocate for free meals which is very nice

Cons

- A few older managers have 'helicopter' parenting - no trust in their employees. No desire to empower, educate, and further the company by investing in each individual. Treat them as temporary, they will fly. - Company is in growing pains - one of these is the settling of cliques. Not like a high school locker room, but it gets close sometimes. - The vision of the company is a mystery to most of the workers. Not very inspiring to work day in and out when communication is clearly hush hush within the company. - PTO is extremely stingy. 5 days for first 3 years, maxing out at what Europeans start with - 3 weeks. 5 days of accrued sick time is allotted now as well (thanks AZ legislation.) -Along with minimal PTO, it is an 8-5 schedule. That doesn't fool anyone - its a 9 hour day. Along with being asked to work some weekends - there's not much time to use the bike you get such a good deal on unless you shrug off sleep deprivation, family, and any other outside ties. -Some employees have incentives to fulfill orders, others do not - but they work towards their fellow employees incentives anyways.

Pros

Enjoyable people that seem to want you to succeed

Cons

The Pivot leadership will throw you away for the equivalent of a few bikes. They don't value building community but gladly give you discounts along the way as a distraction
