Pros

Coworkers are active, encouraging, and positive.

Cons

This company is ran by a couple of local boys without any business experience or education, who promote managers based on athletic and brown-nosing ability rather than intelligence or experience. Employees are paid below-average salaries (for both the area and the industry), supposedly justified by flex-hours and group rides - both perks that in fact no longer exist. As they are infamous for suddenly firing people without cause, the corporate culture here promotes information hoarding and keeping your opinions to yourself. Note the timing of the positive reviews below. This is a company that will lie to you, and that will not value you.

Pros

I don’t know why all these other reviews are so negative, they probably have never worked in customer service or retail for some perspective like me. This is the best job I’ve ever had. I love my job and I love my team. My manager is great and tells me directly what I need to do to get to the next level. There is unlimited PTO and I take PTO when I need or want it. If you’re wondering if Unlimited PTO is a scam it’s not at TrainingPeaks. I usually just look at how often my team members are taking off and keep my PTO around the same. Also I don’t feel the need to take PTO all the time anyways because my team is super flexible and we have a great work life balance. We go into the office for important meetings or events but mostly work from home. I also don’t mind going into the office because the office has lots of snacks, drinks, and they do catered lunch’s often. I’m on a great team with some really smart people and they are all very supportive of me. My team is also very good about taking our feedback in retro and implementing it. I brag about my job all the time to my friends.

Cons

Sure any place is going to have its cons but it’s still 5 stars for me. Here are my Cons: Not any entry level dev positions This company doesn’t have the structure to support entry level devs at this time. You have to have a good foundation in development already in place to succeed here. I’d love to get to the point where we could support entry level devs because it’s so hard for these new devs to find jobs without experience. Salary could be better Am I making more money than I have ever made in my life? Yes! Can I still not afford a house? Also yes :( However I’d rather take the work life balance here with this salary then work somewhere else with a higher salary and I’m just working and stressed all the time. Benefits We mostly have good benefits but I’m disgusted we are using United. However, all health insurance companies in the US are varying levels of evil. Senior Engineers have to do on call Senior Engineers have to participate in on call which basically means just being glued to your computer for days. Also for some reason senior front end engineers don’t have to do it but get paid the same as back end and full stack engineers? That doesn’t seem fair and you don’t even need backend knowledge. You are just triaging and contacting other people when problems happen. Those are my cons none of them are enough for me to not rate TrainingPeaks 5 stars though!

Pros

As of Nov/Oct 2025, I have ZERO good things to say about this company and the leadership. AI-obsessed leadership ruined this company for me. What would have been a 5-star review from 2024-2025 is now the lowest possible score possible. And leadership is 100% to blame.

Cons

I started in 2024 and the company was SOLID. Great people, great benefits, and a human-forward, growth-centric mentality. Since Oct/Nov 2025, everything went downhill. The human-forward mentality became "how can we optimize everything by using AI?" Which then became "we need to be utilizing AI even more." And, in my last few months of working there, that evolved into "we are plateauing on our AI use and REALLY need to push where and how we are using it. We need to be using it more." This translated into a massive downsize of the creative marketing team, outsourcing all the work to outside agencies (who were clearly and heavily depending AI to come up with the creative concepts/executions), completely disregarding the pushback and critiques from senior creatives. I was hired for my specific perspective and creative ideas in 2024, celebrated by my manager for my achievements in 2025, and by 2026, was being villainized for pushing back on all the outsourced and AI-dependent work being done, completely unbeknownst to the in-house creative team. Yes, you read that correctly. C-suite and upper-level leadership specifically had the in-house creative team working on campaigns that we came up with, while actively outsourcing the same work to different agencies and purposefully did not tell the in-house team about it until we saw the videos, ads, and social media assets published publicly. As it stands now, the biggest con of TrainingPeaks is the disorganized and AI-obsessed leadership team.
