Boaters World

Was super excited after leaving my yacht delivery captain job after 25 years to settle in with a local boating company and teach people how to operate their new boats. That’s what I was told I was doing at least. Let’s just say this is 5-10% of the job at best. One month into the job was told they were letting me go for no reason at all other than we’re doing away with your position and that the company is going in a different direction. That very same day my job is posted here on indeed. Hmmm? To make matters worse they had the brand new service manager who's a great guy btw let me go who said I’ve done nothing wrong and that he loved working with me and so did everyone else. In a short amount of time I felt great camaraderie with my co workers. Great people work here you all know who you are and I wish you all the very best. Thank you to those who helped me. I’m sure this was coming from the top but would’ve been nice on a human to human level to have some kind of feedback from management as to how with zero feedback you can just pull the rug out on someone like that, y’all know who you are. Captain’s save your energy and keep scrolling on indeed.

Was excited when hired by this company, and at first felt very welcomed. Quickly the culture changed! Very little to no training support offered regardless of position. Then when something goes disarray, employees are treated and spoken to with disrespect and judgement. No coaching opportunities given etc... Management takes no responsibility; they put forth no effort to actually listen to their employees. If you want to earn any growth or promotion, then you better be friends with the managers as well. 

On the flip side, in general, most all of the employees work well together and have a camaraderie. It is completely management, that makes this a toxic environment!


Clock in and do what you’re supposed to then clock out. Definitely learned a ton about boats but just because of myself not the company. Management truly sucks no matter how much you want to grow with the company and create a career out of it the turn over of employees says it all no one lasts long at all. Hardest part of the job is keeping up with the constant change. Most enjoyable part of the job is obviously working with boats specially if you like boats.

Training 4 days a week with productive interactions. The previous trends of lackluster management and promotion by family and or friendship is now gone. It is a fair playing field and the company is blossoming during a time when most dealerships are failing.

Very fast turn over, managers hired without any experience. No communication with anyone. Upper management does not care about anyone but themselves and sales. 
If your hired management inexperience  will force their responsibilities  onto others. 
Voice a concern and you will be written up on false accusations. With HR backing them. 
Loyal employees that keep the company afloat are over loaded with addition tasks outside their scope. Until they break and leave the company. 

Run from this company 

Horrible company to work for. Gave me 30 days to bring a boat in and didn’t even tell me I had 30 days to do so in the hiring process. So with being there only a month and didn’t get a boat in they fired me. The manager claimed it came from the higher ups but I think that was also a lie. Do not work for this company unless you have experience with boats and consignment. They will throw you in to the wolves and expect you to know what to do. Also I came up with all their call scripts and potential lead excel spread sheet and didn’t even get compensated for it.

"Boaters World provides a fantastic work environment where employees feel valued and supported. The positive atmosphere fosters a sense of teamwork and collaboration, making it a great place to work. Employees enjoy the opportunity to contribute to the company's success while also having the chance to grow personally and professionally. Overall, Boaters World stands out as an excellent employer, prioritizing the well-being and satisfaction of its staff members."

Terrible workplace with completely disconnected upper management who treat the boat business like a shady used car lot. There’s no respect for employees, no work-life balance, and zero accountability from leadership. HR is unprofessional—confidential reports are shared with others, and nothing is ever resolved. Constant turnover, poor morale, and unfair treatment are daily issues. If you value your time, sanity, or career growth, stay far away from this place.

They will hire you for the position you applied for, but then blackmail you into doing another position for the same mediocre pay, and they WILL make you work 6-7 days a week. if you challenge that, they threaten to fire you. 

The place is a revolving door full of unhappy people with dead end jobs and terrible leadership. No bonuses, no time off, guess that's the norm in Australia where the "CEO" is from. Yikes. RUN!

This was by far the worst job I ever had. I have over 20 years experience at the dealership level and this was so poorly managed I literally had 4 supervisors that constantly disagreed on how to solve problems they created with their out of touch policies and constant ridiculous Teams meetings. It was insanity. Upper management is toxic. Awful work environment. Avoid Avoid Avoid
