BRP was a great company to work for.

-I typically had a morning meeting in which we had discussed any issues that could cause lines to go down.
-I learned that even thought there are parts available it does not always mean that those parts will be in the inventory. They may be used on other engines that have been pre built. I also learned that communication to the master scheduler will help with any kind of down time that could occur. The biggest thing that I learned was asking people who are management for help will always keep lines going if any issues occur.
-Not only managing the line and vendors can keep things easier.
-I honestly felt like my co-workers were family. They always tried to help me and I did the same for them. This was the best team I have ever worked with. Our communication was so easy.
-The hardest part of the job was the fact that I was still learning how to do everything. I wanted to so much more but, everyone was so busy so I had to learn somethings on my own.
-I really enjoyed being able to say I helped produce a product that people use. I loved the fact that I would come to work and people would help one another.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The freedom, relaxed nature of people there, and benefits that are offered there 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of clarity in the fact of benefits, time off, and lack of responsibility in the hr department. Many of the days working there are lacking of work and common sense. No work equals lots of low time and too much in my opinion. I want a job with enough work for a full day and for a full week.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very relaxed and mature. But the flip side is lack of accountability on the upper management to help with organization and planning for the plant and everybody that works there 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
First 4 hours are either stocked full of things todo or nothing at all to work on. And the other half of the day has the same dynamic. Usually around lunch time is when work begins to start, right at 11:45 am. Typically it’s rushed and unplanned properly which frustrates and infuriates the employees.

Since the company went public employees became expendable. Seniority was no longer the key factor in keeping your job. It then became a popularity contest with management and supervisors. The company forced those making the most money(senior machinist) to take a pension package or relocated to the line. They dont care about you having a life outside of work. Worked on third and forced to work an hour and two hours early. BRP life is work.  If you dont work on first you wont have a voice with management. BRP lacks communication. We recently got a new supervisor and never got any notifications that we had a new supervisor. The pay is good.  Have had a repay freeze for the past2years along with a pay cut. Loved my fellow coworkers. Leads/supervisors quick to write you up. Unless you've brown nosed enough to management. Overtime was also given out to those who brown nosed or on first shift. Down to first and third shift. Third shift doe 70 percent of the work.

GREEDY and MONEY HUNGRY leadership. The Marine operations in the US have very little impact on BRPs bottom line. This includes Stutevant, Alumacraft in MN and Manitou in MI. All together that’s maybe 1,000 employees for a company that has 20,000 employees in Mexico alone not to mention the rest of the world. They’ve wanted to move as much of the ops to Mexico for years where workers make maybe $1 an hour and have no benefits compared to US workers. Leadership is just so full of themselves, think they’re the greatest when they’re really second rate bit payers who’d never be employed by top tier public companies in the US. I hope they all lose their jobs in the same way they let go of all the hourly workers with no regard to their livelihood. It’s really a disgusting environment where no one in managment can be trusted as they’ll throw anyone under the bus for any reason. HR especially is vile.

A typical work day at BRP is fast-paced.  There are frequent stretch opportunities and growth potential as development is a key focus within the BRP culture.  Thanks to BRP I believe I have a strong HR background given the projects I have been exposed to and the autonomy I have been given over the years.  If you are looking to grow and be challenged professionally this is the place for you!  At BRP, employees are encouraged to take ownership and accountability over their roles.  The type of person that will thrive within this culture is someone who drives for results, problem-solves, works collaboratively, has a winning attitude, works hard and plays hard while recognizing that no task is too big or too small.  This is a team player environment and those who enjoy a challenge will find this company exciting.

Evinrude engines are the product of BRP US INC manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.  The Evinrude Division takes great pride in their heritage in the marine industry.    

The employees strive toward excellence.  They are knowledgeable and freely share their knowledge with new employees to foster a team atmosphere. 

As you would expect, the Engineering division has a more structured daily/weekly schedule.  There are daily meetings to assure all facets of the operation are working well.

The Marketing team strives to get pertinent information to the public regarding the product.  They are a dedicated team of professionals who work well together.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They top out your pay very quickly.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management will lay blame on the employees for issues out of their control.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile environment with many not doing their work properly or at all for that fact. Management will overlook you if you are not in their certain click. This company is very poorly run and seems as if they are getting ready to close their doors.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 hours of standing around ( not allowed to sit ) with no work to do yet supervisor's will tell employees to find something to do to keep busy.

I have learned to do many new and interesting things at BRP. I have learned to assemble boat motors and how to E-Coat. I have received valuable training in chemical spills, first responder and I am the only first responder on third shift. My management team is always alert to issues that may come up and always willing to listen. The most challenging part of my job is working third shift with little room for advancement. I enjoy working with my co-worker and the feeling of accomplishment that I get from a job well done. I also enjoy helping the other departments in ensuring that they have their parts for the day. I am looking for first shift work with room for advancement.

I enjoyed my position for the most part and it kept me in shape. But once i became pregant my supervisor didn't let me work overtime, started catering to another employee, made innapropriate comments about my appearance, wouldn't switch my position so i had to get help with lifting. HR never investigated anything i reported. I was doing almost all my dept work. Wouldn't let me take trabsfer depts despite supervisors requesting me, got min pay raises. The office ladies were awesome though and i enjoyed working with most employees.  

Truly an innovative company who a diverse portfolio, standing out the most is the leadership running the Powersports Divisions from Sales to Net Dev all truly mean to grow and succeed. I have been challenged in more ways imaginable with different projects with each one allowing me to learn something new and being truly grateful. Advancement is more then possible as the company grows more and more, with the new Dallas HQ for US there are an abundance of jobs an opportunity to move within the company. Highly recommend as it has changed my life forever!
