Pros

Working in the surf culture industry and being close to famous surf spot Trestles. Getting first dibs on discounted surf gear is a major plus and mostly friendly work environment.

Cons

The pay there was not so good. Over all work environment was sub par and a bit messy in the back room when receiving shipment boxes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Laid-back surf company, with a work hard, play hard vibe. Good place to acquire skills for future careers.

Cons

Rip Curl doesn't treat their employees very well, and turnover is high. Don't expect to get promoted or get a raise unless the company is desperate. High-Demanding job, very little rewards.
