Pros
Mike's has given me a career in the cycling industry which is rare at all other bike shops. Matt & Ken are very transparent and help guide/mentor employees to grow within the company and gain important life skills. If you're competitive and love to challenge yourself, Mike's is the place to work! Hard work is recognized by upper management and you're compensated well for achieving results. Company culture is spot on - Work hard, play hard! Employees feel good about what they sell and the company core values align with their message. More butts on bikes! Many people who hold leadership positions within the company started at entry level positions which is motivating for new employees to see.
Cons
Communication between Headquarters/Distribution Center and the stores can be a struggle at times, but it's getting better. The pressure to perform is very high so be prepared to put in long hours and dedicate yourself to your job and the company. However, hard work is rewarded and doesn't go unnoticed.
