Pros

The people are the company's biggest asset followed by the services offered.

Cons

The leadership team is focused on getting the company sold and have little regard for employees. Instead of focusing on implementing the feedback they ask for in employee engagement surveys, they focus on how late employees stay working in the office or if they're using their phones at their desks.

Pros

After 20 years with Boats Group, I can honestly say this company has been an incredibly rewarding place to build a career. The longevity of my tenure is a testament to the culture, leadership, and impactful work that continues to inspire me. People-first culture: From day one, Boats Group made it clear that people come first. The leadership team truly values its employees and consistently invests in our personal and professional growth. I've always felt supported and encouraged to stretch into new roles and challenges. Commitment to innovation: The company has evolved tremendously over two decades, always adapting and staying ahead of industry trends. From embracing new technologies, shifting to remote/hybrid work models, and developing innovative tools for the boating industry, Boats Group has stayed ahead of what is needed to make its employees and customers successful. Strong leadership with vision: Each phase of the company's growth has been guided by thoughtful, transparent leadership. Even in times of change, the executive team communicates openly and keeps employees aligned and motivated. Collaborative and inclusive environment: I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the brightest and kindest colleagues. Collaboration and mutual respect are the norm here. Knowing that our work contributes to the joy and lifestyle of boating enthusiasts is deeply rewarding.

Cons

No company is perfect - there have been growing pains through acquisitions and organizational changes over the years. But these shifts have almost always led to better structures, improved strategy, and stronger performance.
