Pros
Trek makes you feel like the work you are doing "really" matters and like you are the only one able to do the specific work for the company. They are flexible with vacation time and time off. They say 2 weeks when you start, but they are not strict about this as long as you aren't abusing the flexibility they give you.
Cons
**Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job responsibilities and daily tasks, but like many other employees at Trek, I was extremely underpaid.** Trek is very understaffed due to high turnover rates and constant layoffs. Losing a person meant no replacement hired, and that person's work was split up and distributed to the other people in the department. Salaried employees are supposed to work 40 hours a week, M- F from (approx.) 8 am to 5 pm, and are not eligible for overtime pay, All deadlines are to be met and required work needs to be completed on time each week - even as your workload continued to grow larger and larger. That meant having to work Many extra hours every week, usually 8 am to 10 pm Monday through Thursday, with a few small breaks during the day, and sometimes having to work past 5 pm on Fridays and needing to do a few hours of work on the weekends as well. It was impossible to not fall behind each week if you didn't work extra-extra long days. In the end, salaried at $60k/year for 40 hour weeks broke down to more like $19/hour. Trek does not know how to respectfully treat, compensate, or show any real appreciation to their employees!
