Hagadone Marine Group

This place seems amazing to begin with and as soon as you get in, you quickly realize the reason they have extreme high turn over in employees and management. The people who have experience quickly leave because they see what is going on (no win situation)  and the people who don't have experience,  stay because they don't know they are getting screwed. management is way underqualified and a lot of times the workers know more than they do but get treated like garbage.  The upper management cares about is padding their own pockets and that is it. They want you to work extended hours with the bare minimum pay and if they think you are making to much they will cut you and expect you to be ok with it. They dangle carrots in front of you to keep you including money but then make it unattainable to retrieve. They hold you responsible for things completely out of your control and expect you to do the impossible.  They want you to reach budgets that are completely unattainable and when you don't it is your fault. The president is impossible to work for and they just let him keep getting away with it. They are loosing valuable people, experience, and trust in their employees and customers at astronomical speeds and their attitude towards it is "o well, we are Hagadone marine we will just get more people." They are dedicated to nobody. Not their customers, not their employees, not their families. Only themselves! They have deep pockets and they know it. (it is a huge joke around the marina) I would  not recommend this place for anything. 

Lack of leadership and poor hiring choices (nepotism with no regard for qualification) have left this company in tatters. They protect the incompetent people and dog on the people trying to make the place better. The work life balance is frequently violated and if you try to hold your boundaries up, you become a target for not being a "Team player". The culture here is one of distrust, backstabbing, and overall horrible treatment. The time where you showed up cuz of your coworkers has even gone. 

Instead of fixing the problems, they bring in donuts and tell you to smile more because you got donuts so you shouldn't be upset anymore. Instead of updating outmoded practices and procedures, they double down on inefficiencies and refuse to follow good practices. They would rather short term fix things than address the deeper problems that continually cause the problems. 

They allow customers to yell at and walk all over the employees. Employees are expected to take the abuse with a smile and then the odds that they get yelled at again for the problem by the boss is high. Throwing people under the bus is common practice and frankly encouraged. 

If you don't value your soul, absolutely work here. If you enjoy micromanagement by incompetent people, work here. But, if you have any semblance of sanity or soul left, look elsewhere. This place will eat you alive and only spit out the bones for your family to find and mourn. 

All jobs carry their particular stressors.
I started at Hagadone Marine over a month ago, after 32 years in the marine industry.

I chose Hagadone Marine over others due to their reputation in the industry, the products that they represent, and the facilities.

While I was  extremely comfortable after meeting with the President and senior managers, my interactions with the staff members exposed a culture of Team and support for each other.

I can honestly say that it is refreshing to join a team that recognizes and strives to correct their weaknesses…..but also takes the time to celebrate the victories, no matter how small.

If you are looking for a HOME in this industry, Hagadone Marine is the place to start!

Hagadone Marine Group is fun and fast-paced place to work. The top management truly provides fun team bonding opportunities and encourages a fun company culture. Team members are encouraged to learn and grow within the company. While the job can indeed be stressful at times, it is a rewarding environment that provides recognition for hard work. 

There were recent changes in management at Hagadone Marine, which has proven to increase morale throughout the dealership. The communication throughout the company has improved, and employees are more of a "team" than they ever have been before. 

If you're looking for a fun challenge, Hagadone Marine is your place to go! 

I've worked at Hagadone Marine Group for over two years, and I am so grateful I was hired. This culture is so positive, caring, and so many people have gone out of their way to help me. The company truly cares about your career and where you want to go. The managers have so many conversations with you about what motivates you to help you achieve your goals. 

I feel valued, heard, and my work means something when I am here.

In terms of benefits, it's truly fantastic. We have PTO, and we are encouraged to take it.  Great healthcare plan. I really could go on for a long time. Definitely, definitely apply.

Working at Hagadone Marine is a very good place to work in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. A typical day of work includes moving customer boats to and from the service yard for mechanics and salesmen, delivering boats to customer docks on CDA Lake, Hayden Lake, and other nearby lakes, and customer service with customers coming in to pick up their boats and jet skis. 

An issue I had with the job was unspecified hours. The dealership and service center hours were 8am-6pm but there would be days where you could work until almost 8pm because of miscommunication and unorganization of service writers and customers.

Hagadone doesn't pay much so you won't make a killing unless you're up the food chain.
I was part of Hagadone Marine but worked primarily at the Coeur d'Alene Resort.
They advance from within and if your not buddy buddy with higher ups then you have no chance. The Resort advances people who have no place being in certain management jobs instead of looking outside for a highly qualified applicant..so if you can b.s. your qualifications and snuggle to people you'll do great.

Was cool at first, but ended up working long hours and was shamed for wanting to work less than 60 hours a week. Management has no clue what they are doing and couldn't operate the business, with out a select few mid level employees that are treated poorly. They lie to customers and staff, and take advantage of people. They carry great products but treat their staff like numbers. If they didn't have the capital standing behind them, they would have failed by now. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I really enjoyed working for this company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being a part of a team that provided “ The Best on the Water Experience”

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good at the end we struggled with a person at the mid level that had no marine background

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy but enjoyable challenging and productive

The culture is toxic, organization is hectic, management is under qualified, turn over is high, and the place is becoming more corporate everyday. Focus is on quantity over quality. There are a few good people there who are honest and care, but they are overlooked. And the five star reviews on here are from management, the people who work for them have a different view.
