Pros
- Awesome product - Volunteer paid time off was a wonderful program - Growing fast
Cons
I worked at evo HQ for several years and found myself disappointed by evo's external brand reputation not matching what HQ office culture was like. Online retail can be inherently stressful, but I felt consistently overworked. I was in many meetings where managers behaved rudely and hurt the feelings of fellow employees. This isn't the lifestyle company they claim to be. Paid time off was measly. Some employees were cliquey with a serious "boys club" making it hard to get invited to ski and ride. Yes, you may get a free board every year but you're making $5K less than market wage. You'd be able to afford a new board every year and cash the other $4k at another job. I've been able to snowboard/ camp/ bike way more at my non-outdoor-industry Seattle job with better time-off than I ever did at evo.
