It’s no secret that the best leaders have the happiest and most productive employees. We built a masterclass in leadership to help all Trek employees become better versions of themselves and create a culture of continuous improvement, empathetic support, and healthy team dynamics.

Humility

Leaders with humility don't work hard to get credit, they work hard because they care. They're never boastful, always grateful, and forever willing to learn and grow.

Will

To lead with will is to be driven by desire and determination. Willful leaders are always ready to roll up their sleeves and put in work in order to achieve exemplary results.

Best team on the field

Hiring the right people is about more than just technical fit—we want people on our team who show up every day with empathy, kindness, and care.

Vision

Iconic leaders aren't satisfied with the status quo. They're constantly looking for bigger, better, and bolder ways to do things.

Let’s work together to make the world better

Have a cause you’re passionate about? We’ll support you any way we can. Whether you need extra funding, paid time off, or another set of eager hands, we’re always happy to help.

Local grants

We established a local grant program to provide funding for projects that help get more people on bikes. If you or someone you know needs some seed money to start a bike shop or enhance your community in any way, reach out to us at [email protected]

Volunteer PTO

All Trek employees have access to paid time off to volunteer for non-profits that help build our communities, so whether you want to spend the day volunteering at the polls, working at a food bank, or empowering our youth, we’ll support you every step of the way.

Employee profile: Tati Koufopanteli, LIFE Camp

In the summer of 2020, Trek store manager Tati Koufopantaeli was looking for ways to get more involved with the youth in her community. With Trek’s support, she partnered with a non-profit called Life Camp to help get kids from underserved communities involved in cycling. Over eight weeks, the program gives students mentorship and training to enter the workforce—and all students who complete the program are guaranteed a position with Trek. Now, with Tati’s help, we’re expanding this program to more communities across the country.

Trek’s not-so-basic benefits

Sure—offering a 401k isn’t revolutionary. But creating a great environment for our employees has long been a company value at Trek. We’re always looking for ways to improve our employees’ home and work lives, and we expand what’s available to them every year. From rare benefits like ESOP and paid time off for volunteer work to expanded healthcare coverage, we do our best to take care of everyone who works at Trek.

Tuition reimbursement

Wanna better yourself? Say no more. We offer an Educational Assistance Program that covers up to 75% of the cost of approved college or business-related courses. If you want to take classes, attend seminars, or work toward an advanced degree, we’ll do whatever it takes to make that an easy and accessible choice.

401k match

We want to help you build a secure financial future. That’s why we match up to 6% of all 401k contributions, and we provide financial planning resources to help you and your family live more comfortably.

Discounts on the world’s best bikes

You were waiting for this one, weren’t you? One of our most-loved benefits at Trek is a hefty discount on the world’s best bikes and gear. All Trek employees enjoy discounts on products from Trek and our many other brands.

Expanded healthcare coverage

We offer healthcare coverage to all employees working 20 hours or more, because healthy employees are happy employees. And we do our best to take care of everyone who works at Trek.

Mansion Hill Inn

We transformed a 19th-century mansion into the Midwest’s most beautiful bed and breakfast as part of our commitment to unforgettable hospitality. We always keep a few rooms open to house prospective employees from out of state, and we’ll go out of our way to ensure you enjoy your stay.

Employer-matched donations

In an effort to increase the impact of Trek employees, we match all employee financial contributions to accredited non-profits dedicated to social equity, youth development, and environmental sustainability.

Trek Scholarship Program

Our love for our employees extends to their families, too. Over the years, the Trek Scholarship Program has provided over $2 million in contributions to help provide secondary education for Trek families.

Employee Stock Ownership Program

Employees own the single largest percentage of Trek. All US employees are enrolled in our ESOP program after their first year, giving them a direct share in Trek's financial success.

Lunch ride, anyone?

Humans aren’t meant to sit at a desk eight hours a day. Whatever part of the business you’re in, we encourage you to do things during your workday that help you feel your very best. Whether it’s a lunch ride with your coworkers, a mid-day walk, or weekly therapy, we’ll do whatever we can to support you and make sure you have the time and resources you need to thrive both mentally and physically.

Wellness perks

If you’re joining us at Trek HQ in Waterloo, you’ll enjoy an on-site gym complete with the world’s most wonderful fitness trainer, a café stocked with healthy, freshly made food, a full-time primary care clinic, massage therapists, mental health counselors, dieticians, athletic trainers—and that’s just the start of it.

Not joining us in the ‘loo? You’ll still have access to virtual benefits, including workout classes, doctor appointments, counseling, and more.

Trek trails

We built 30-kilometers of world-class mountain bike trails in our own backyard to provide employees with a much-needed sanctuary during the workday. Now, riders of all skills levels gather at our private trails for lunch rides, product testing, late summer bonfires, and the kind of respite only the natural world can provide.

No matter where in the world you work, as a Trek employee, you’re welcome to join us on the trails at any time.

Meet me at the Lodge

Some companies do break rooms a little differently than others. Ours is called The Lodge, and it’s located in the middle of Trek’s private mountain bike trails — a place to kick your feet up, grab a cold beverage, and enjoy the company of your coworkers after a couple epic laps. This LEED Certified respite is complete with pinball machines, a bar, and plenty of boardgames. The worst part about The Lodge? Leaving.

Join the club!

Bikes may be our primary focus, but we still dabble in ball-and-stick sports. We have various sports clubs at Waterloo HQ — from lacrosse to pickleball to hockey — and all employees are welcome to join. The only price of membership is great energy and maybe e a few high-fives. Lifting heavy things more your speed? We also have a CrossFit-certified box and climbing walls onsite.

Like every great relationship, we’re looking for something meaningful. Our success relies entirely on the quality of our people, and our process is admittedly deliberate so you can get a better picture of what you’re joining and we can get a full understanding of who we’re welcoming to Trek.

Step 1
Make the first move


Every amazing journey begins somewhere, and this one starts with you making the first move. Find a role that speaks to you, drop us your resume, and we’ll let you know if we’re ready to move on to the next step. Either way you’ll hear from us – because nobody likes to be ghosted.

Step 2
Get better acquainted


You like us. We like you back. The second step is an easy 30-minute call with one of our friendly recruiters so we can both get to know each other better. During this conversation, we’ll learn more about you and you’ll learn more about Trek and the opportunities and amenities we offer.

Step 3
Take things to the next level


The Hiring Manager interview is a one-on-one discussion with the manager you’d report to in your desired role. Be prepared to discuss your experience and provide us with a fuller picture of what you’ll bring to the table, because at this point, you’ve got a great shot.

Step 4
Meet the family


At this stage, you’ll speak with multiple people you’ll be working with on a daily basis. This step allows us to gauge your experience and talents from multiple perspectives and gives you a 360-degree view of the people you’ll interact with, the culture of the team, and the expectations of the role.

Step 5
First trip together


Things are getting serious! We’re people people, and we believe the best way to get to know each other is to sit down and have an old-fashioned face-to-face conversation. While not all interviews will end onsite, in many cases, candidates will travel and tour Trek headquarters, meet their hiring manager and team in person, and decide if this is the commitment we’re all looking for.

Step 6
Let’s make it official



We want you to become a part of the Trek team, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Our hiring manager and recruiter will reach out with the specifics. Welcome to Trek!
