I wanted to be a bartender and they gave me a chance but overall it was the first horrible bartending job and the first horrible job I have ever dealt with in my entire life for a 23 year old. Coming from a low income family that lives on section 8 throughout his life, a passionate person that love helping people, and a person that did 5 years of volunteering, I had to walk out and it was unprofessionally. I do deserve the consequence but that's life. The only thing I learn from them is being an a hole to my co workers, and they're are times I was being at times because the stress from the management. The management is just ridiculously horrible. The kitchen manager and supervisor was the only the awesome manager in Lakeville. They're 3 nut head manager. One, is that  guy office manager thinks he's the king because he deals with your paperwork. Two, is that assistant manager that will always be that guy even if you have a bad up morning, he will find another way to make it more worst than your mother funeral, and finally but least the general manager. That is such a 2 face and will talk so much smack behind your back to other co workers but not tell you what you're doing wrong at work in front of your face. He doesn't even wanna help the co workers to be a better workers. He just want the money. Here's the funny side of the corporate, they will hire a general manager that used to manage at other place but will not promote the assistant manager that work for them more than 5 years. It doesn't make sense, it really don't. I loved all my co workers from CSR and servers. We are the angels in that hell hole. The hardest thing about the job? Not a thing. The most enjoyable part I love from working at Brunswick in Lakeville are the co workers I get along with, bartending, serving and making sure people feel they are welcome when they come in. I'm a type of person that want to make a frown turn upside down. Call me crazy just because the tattoos and piercings on me. I was born to serve others with my heart as nurses do. You can't have the negatives in your life because it will drag you down to dirt. That's why I decided to quit, accept the consequences.

A typical day at work for me typically begins with lane maintenance. I operate a machine that cleans and oils each lane. Once that is finished, I can begin machine maintenance on the 48 lanes we have. From day to day, I communicate with the employees up front to keep them informed of which machine I will be working on. When I am performing maintenance on a machine, I could be replacing a part, making adjustments, cleaning parts, or even lubricating pivot points. I work alone typically, but there are two other mechanics that work in the same facility at different times. We try to keep a record of work performed so any issues could be resolved quickly in the event that something goes wrong. It can be a stressful job on occasion due to high volume of business, but I do enjoy the feeling of getting a machine fixed and running again. I feel a sense of accomplishment and I know that customers will be happier that their machine will be running without issue. While working here, I have learned a lot of tricks to working with machines and tools. I have learned a small amount about electricity, plumbing, and even HVAC equipment. As a maintenance mechanic, the machines are not the only part of my job. If a monitor fails, it is my job to replace the board and ensure it works again. The same goes for snackbar, bathroom, and computer equipment. I have good relationships with some employees, but others bring unnecessary stress to the environment. I try to avoid the issues other bring and stick to what I am there to do, my job.

Fast paced - no benefits before 90 days! Hot, dirty, low pay, personal favouritism among employees, difficult work areas where expected to multiple jobs although it wasn't what I was hired to do - I felt like a monkey - trained for the amusement of the management staff. I ruined my personal clothing because no uniforms were offered, nor was there a uniform allowance, or compensation for destroyed clothing while working for this company.

 They DON'T value their employees - temporary or permanent! Breaks are too short (20 minutes) and only TWO offered all DAY LONG! You work 10 hour and sometimes 11 hour days without knowing until right before lunch that you have to work over on the same day and sometimes you work on Saturdays. You have to beat the train on BOTH ends of the street (Hadley Rd.) to get to work on time. You  can only be late TWICE before being fired. Too much stress for too little pay. They make BILLIONS of dollars a year and pay their employees PEANUTS for what they could pay and don't treat them well. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!

-The union is controlled by the company, when I was let go the union cut me a check for my union dues and deleted me off their records so that they didn't have to help me out; and miraculously every time a new union contract comes along and brunswick wants a change made they will have a union steward make the change in exchange for a cozy office job directly with the company.
-management and most of the trainers wont treat you like a human being.
-when it comes time to your last review and your not friends with the right people they will point blank tell you they lied on your review to get you out of there so that they don't have to give you a payraise.
-company brags once a month in a meeting to all their employees  how they gross billions but then they go on to say that they cant afford to give their employees a cost of living raise
-management only cares about how much money they are getting and how they can promote their friends, no one else

bottom line - RUN AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No support structure. Everyone is just forced to "wing it" on a daily basis. No preventative maintenance done, then complaints when the machine goes down. The plant manager said no layoffs were coming, then a week later it was 9 people. 2 months later another 10. In that time, they also gutted an entire shift. They expanded during Covid, which everyone knows is a bad idea. Most the new machines have ran for maybe 2 weeks since they were installed last year. Favoritism is heavy here. Have questions? Good luck getting a hold of anyone who isn't a supervisor. Literally doesn't know how to handle a layoff, this was stated multiple times when everyone got laid off. No communication, even though they stated multiple times they were working on getting better at it, the more they talk, the more it's just hot air. Lets not forget that since this year, all the experienced people who have decades here are saying "I've never seen Mercury this bad in all my years."

Do you like working 10 hours a day or more, Monday- Friday? Do you like having to work a full 8 hours on Saturday after that? How about working in a culture where everyone who works in the office is considered good, smart, and hardworking while those working in the warehouse are considered lazy and ignorant? If you don’t like that, let me sweeten the pot for you. The operations manager has been there 6 months. In that time he has not once tried to understand how the warehouse operates. If you have an idea he does not like, be prepared to be called names and told how wrong you are. He once referred to a Supervisor as “special” in front of the other supervisors when said supervisor asked for clarification on a project. The Vice President has never run a Distribution facility and it shows. Even if you beat the plan for the month which we did constantly, you will be told how wrong everything is that you are doing. If this sounds like a place you want to work, then by all means apply here. You have been warned.

Production and assembly managers are lairs and 2 faced. If your a temp worker, dont waste your time because they sure will waste yours making you believe that they're going to hire you but really don't have any attentions of doing so. Experience doesn't matter because I have 8 plus years doing this. Nobody feels appreciated from what I hear and seen. Straight cowards, tell you everything is good then they show you actions that express otherwise. Good place if your lazy, you'll fit in just fine. All the ppl you work with complain all the time, ive never seen so Many grown ppl that cry so much. No morale what so ever. The management doesnt even train you, they expect trainers on the floor to train you and carry there own work load at the same time. All management does is walk around with hands in there pockets. Management also doesn't acknowledge anyone but certain women which I found strange

I worked for Brunswick's Boat Group Division.  The product is exciting, and for the most part my co-workers were fantastic, the benefits were good, but since the downturn in 2008, there is no job security.  There has been a consistent decrease in headcount since 2008.

Management doesn't understand the Product Lifecycle.  They have cut resources to less than half of what is needed to support the breadth of boat models and lines they are trying to support, and then they do not understand why engineering is late, there are numerous quality issues, and it takes a long time to resolve issues.

Classic example of a company trying to do way too much with far too few of resources.

Initially, this facility was great, then the work hours started to change.  In the year I was employed, the plant work schedule changed in various departments four times. Workflow was inconsistent, departments and management were at odds with each other personally and in the needed workflow from each department.  The overall culture of facility was negative.  People were unhappy, pay varied on which department you were assigned to, people refusing to do work or refusing to help other departments.  The hardest part of the job was the changing hours, the most enjoyable was the teamwork in the fence room and how everyone helped each other despite the negative approach and interactions of the other departments.
