Pros

If you are a fan of the sport then you may find this company interesting. Some positions pay well but be prepared to always put the company before anything else.

Cons

Very fragmented management, individual departments are not treated the same. Since this is run by a family member, there is a group of people that do very well. The rest of the employees are treated as assets that can easily be replaced. Most employees have very little chance to advance beyond their current position. The statement heard repeatedly is “you have to do more with less” except for the inside group. An aggressive management group that does not work together but rather try and compete to be noticed. They like to use the phrase “we are a family” which was true 10 years ago, current management has killed that culture.

Pros

The role offered engaging work in the NASCAR environment, which was exciting and meaningful for those passionate about motorsports. Strong direct leadership and support during the initial period of employment. Collaborative team environment with interesting projects tied to the racing industry.

Cons

Limited job security. The company underwent multiple rounds of significant layoffs within my first year. I was laid off in the third round after being repeatedly assured during company-wide meetings that remaining employees were safe. Upper management appeared disconnected from day-to-day operations. There was a clear preference for external vendors over internal staff, even in situations where vendors required frequent correction on deliverables and client communications. Following a change in direct management, our team was deprioritized in favor of the third-party vendor, ultimately contributing to our group’s layoff. Compensation was below market rate for the responsibilities and experience required, particularly when compared to the company’s emphasis on executive travel and perks. The work environment felt increasingly corporate, with heavy focus on cost reduction and a reactive approach to performance management.
