Pros

You're working for an industry that promotes an active lifestyle.

Cons

The benefits are not as nearly as good as other companies in the industry. The owners milk employees new to the work force or those who are looking to reestablish careers. Don't expect to grow and prosper with Mike's. Promotions and rewards are only left for those who are considered part the "Mike's Family" which is code for white, male, Marin county resident, loyals. Most of management has only Mike's work experience. They are reluctant to listen and embrace new ideas or recognize contributions from those from outside of the "Mike's Family".

Pros

Good list of brands to get EP deals on. Benefits are actually competitive for the bike industry.

Cons

Consistently hire for roles without posting the job internally, After being bought by PON the company has adopted many practices to stifle employees and limit growth to maximize profits at all costs. It feels like it’s being eaten from the inside out and will soon be a shell of what it once was.
