Pros

Great group of coworkers that were passionate of the endurance sports community. Opportunity to attend events nationally and internationally while meeting great customers. Work/life balance was pretty good for non-management positions.

Cons

- Absolutely horrible pay structure. TrainingPeaks is known for severely underpaying employees while removing perks as time went on. - Spent almost a year trying to figure out performance review and growth for staff, yet promotions were non-existent as well as salary increases. - Constantly doing more work above your role and salary for no increase in compensation or promotion. - CEO is clueless and upper management is too afraid to stand up. Constant changes in direction of the organization, always chasing a shiny new project. - No real interest in listening to feedback from employees or customers. - Kombucha bar, new building or some fancy gym doesn't make up for low salary, bonuses or career growth. - Did an internal/external compensation review which was a joke. Barely raised the compensation even though it was shown to be on the low end of the scale. When I left a year later, they paid my replacement the same starting salary as when I started, making the compensation review a scam!

Pros

-Employees who are generally your peers in interests, age, ambitions, and politics. If you’re an endurance athlete, there are still athletes remaining there which makes for a great environment—even though the number is dwindling. -Work in a passion industry. If you’re into endurance sports hearing how useful the product is for athletes and coaches makes you feel good and highly rewarded. -Sales are fairly easy and straightforward. The cycle is short and fast, and you interact with a large and diverse clientele.

Cons

- Turnover. This company has lost probably 70% of its workforce during the pandemic. It is unrecognizable from what it was 2+ years ago when I started. -Management? I think this comes down to the CEO and executives, not necessarily middle management. Main agenda from new CEO has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and has created a lot of instability with middle management. This in turn frustrates employees, stymies progress, and is a big reason for the alarming turnover this company is enduring. -Benefits. In my two years there, “perks” were reduced, my pay was cut/restructured, and bonuses slashed. In the grand scheme of software sales take-home pay, TrainingPeaks ranks very poorly. It was a good stepping stone for me personally, but not professionally. -Stagnation. TrainingPeaks has rested on its laurels for several years. They have promised groundbreaking technology internally but after years of delays nothing has happened and questions about its viability have made a lot of current and former employees uncomfortable. A half-baked attempt to grow in international markets was frustrating.

Look elsewhere for work

Pros

on-site gym, my peers are great people to work with

Cons

no job security...seems like every 60 days the company fires someone without any warning to the person. I am hoping to go elsewhere before they surprise me. The leadership team has a huge ego and are hard to work with. They want to be included in every decision. The CEO in particular is a control freak. The company looks like a great place to work but once you are here you see what really goes on. The company also just bought a music company. SERIOUSLY, what does a music company have to do with athletes? It seems like the only reason is the CEO and his team want to stroke their egos.
