Worst Place to Work

Pros

There are a few good people to work with.

Cons

If you're looking for a place to grow and learn, this employer is not for you. Leadership is completely afraid of the executive director who thrives off creating conflict in the work place. If you have an opinion, this is not the place to work as you'll quickly become an outcast. Same goes for if you're not a "bowler." You'll see very little diversity here and even less initiative to bring in anyone else that isn't a bowler or someone in the "old boys club." A very mismanaged, dramatic and all-around unhealthy place to work. Pay isn't even close to competitive for all the politics and drama that one has to endure when working at USBC. and the culture is even worse. For a company that continually harps on how great the culture is, they are certainly quick to make fun of people who bring new ideas to the table and enforce outdated HR policies with an iron fist. Don't just turn away from this employer...RUN!!!

Pros

Some people are genuinely nice and capable to do their jobs. People are truly passionate about the sport. Some of the work is cool: working in TV and sporting events depending on the area you get into.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment and the culture is fear based. The way people act stems from the Executive Director (currrent is Chad Murphy) and trickles down to the leaders that are afraid of him and are unqualified to be in their positions. Additionally, they make current employees feel like they can't leave and continuously put people down and bully them. Very negative morale and people bond by talking about how much they hate people in leadership and how much they hate their job. The work can be very micromanaged and although you will be told you have a lot of free reign, you really are forced to go along with the Exec Directors ideas and disagreeing with him is frowned upon.

Pros

That it is a sports company

Cons

Not progressive, good old boy work environment, racist work environment (no people of color on the leadership team), if you are not "true" bowler you are treated as an outsider, Executive Director promotes a rigid work environment, no flexibility for sick time or time needed out of the office, pay is under the industry standard yet expected to work long hours, Executive Director does not allow room for new ideas, ED will have an idea and want to come up with a plan to execute his idea and often times decides not to move forward with the idea after the work that was requested was put into it, expected to work events yet they don't allow you flexible time when/if needed, member data is not in a usable format for marketing to use to analyze promos, etc.
