Pros

Some really unique benefits come with the job if you're a car enthusiast and/or Mazda owner. Coworkers are a close-knit group of friends and half-days on Friday were nice.

Cons

Management has unrealistic and unpredictable expectations Micromanaging needlessly creates a high-stress work environment Management is dismissive of employee feedback No HR department or qualified individual to answer HR-related questions

Pros

Great culture-the other employees and I are basically family. Management is honest and communicates well on goals/expectations. Very good benefits-especially if you're a car person. The team is focused on growth and produces high quality products and customer service.

Cons

Planning can get excessive at times.

Pros

Wide breadth of work experience in the engineering department. Opportunity to impact direction of the department and product line. Opportunity for direct communication with customers in order to rapidly develop products that followed market demands. Well known and highly regarded brand in the markets that they service. Solid opportunities for using racing efforts to develop market leading products. Positive long term relationships with OEM's.

Cons

It's been a while since I was at CorkSport, and I have kept in touch with the owners over the years, and have since started my own performance automotive company in a different market. These are my experiences as to the cons of working there, but most of these things have been sorted out in the last 4-5 years due to the substantial growth of the company. I felt like the owners had a very grand view of where they wanted the company to go, and when I was there it was a 4 person work environment, which made some of the organizational structure a little over-formal and top heavy I felt. That being said, it was excellent foresight for the owners to establish those methods early on and that has led to their ability to both grow the company and efficiently manage a larger workforce. The only other con I had in regard to my experiences there were based on lack of equipment and technology that would have improved my abilities to do my job. All of this equipment and technology is now on site at Corksport.
