Pros

Despite the problems in structure and culture, the motorsports industry is very interesting the work for. It is not often that you walk through your office and you run into Richard Petty in the hallway and have to point him to the restroom. Travel to the tracks is fun (in the beginning) and the live environment makes the job challenging.

Cons

Complete incompetence of middle management. If you are not a director or higher (or a close friend of one) you are not worth squat, your opinion does not matter and your skills are, by default, insignificant. I have worked with some very smart people in non-management positions and all share the same view. Cronyism is rampant within the company, leading to some very unqualified people in fairly powerful positions.

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.
