Malibu-Boats

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company does not care about the customer or the employees. They only care for the money. Management does not have a clue on how to run a boat manufacturing company. I would not recommend Malibu boats for a career. It is a job not a career.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
to orders from people that should not be giving you orders due to lack of knowledge and performing their duties. They have no skill set. These people should not be in charge.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile a lot of jealousy, favoritism, and lack of respect for others.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dirty work environment causes health issues, but they do not care keep working. They do not try to fix any problems that may put employees at risk in harmful environment. team leader Uses bad words to instruct you on how to do your job. I have been in boat manufacturing for 23 years. Malibu is the worst company that I have ever worked for the people in charge should not be in charge. They should be tested on their skill levels.

The management at malibu is so worried about getting the boats done, they don't care if even the bare minimum is done on a boat, as long as it's done but, if something about the quality comes back bad, then they get upset. It's kind of a lose lose situation. They don't really care about an employee's suggestion about their job that they work daily. Fast paced and whiny. Communication sucks, nobody really informs everybody on if something is going on or gonna happen that day. You just get surprised with what it is. Honestly, if management crew could be improved along with communication, it would be A LOT better place to work. The only good thing about it is, the pay, you start out good and top out in a year.

What is the best part of working at the company?
While Malibu Boats is probably a great company to work for most, this has not been my experience. Having ended up in the hospital and almost dying after working several months of 16+ and 20+ hour days, (I was salaried), my boss' reaction was just "oh well, that is just part of the job."  There was no sympathy, nor any remorse about nearly putting me in my grave. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many hours, management makes promises they cannot follow through on and no remorse when they almost kill you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked remote, so I did not get much interaction, but the people that I did meet seemed great.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start working early, no breaks, no lunch, barely time to go to the bathroom. Stop working after everyone else has gone to bed.

The people I worked with and the job I performed made the work I did worth coming in every day. But as I saw the company grow over the years, the way the production teams are treated were getting worse with every boat added to the production numbers. I feel the company has lost sight of what has made them successful, the people that build their products. Simply for the sake of filling those orders and making those profits. Money compensation only goes so far when you are beat down every day just trying to do your job.

I work there for four years and a half years.i never missed a day was told i was a good employee.not counting all the illegals there.I was  harassed  and complain on countless of time and all i got was laugh at i a touch and management did NOT do nothing about it.I was told that because i had no proof they would not do nothing about it even tho there was cameras right over head.Also if you want to be taught how to hide badly build boat this would be the place to learn that.they treat there employee badly .this is not the number one paying boat place around. i had to quit because after reporting it to the hr department (last step after to twos of complaining to my boss and nothing got done)they was trying to find reason to make it hard on me

When you have a problem and ask to go to hr you get fired. If you don’t fit in the clicks then they find a reason to get rid of you. Some supervisors don’t like new people they don’t like helping or even trying to help you instead they are no where to be found. When you do talk to them and they talk to you with no respect cus at you and treat you like garbage and the moment you say we will go to hr they fire you. That’s why they have so much turn over rate they could care less about you. I knew a couple of people that got done the same way but I still decided to work there and got done the same way.

Malibu is a very fast paced production business. The employees are overworked & although employees accrue PTO & vacation the company seems to stay short handed which prohibits approval of time off. I may have worked with a full team for 2 weeks within my 7 months employment. The work was extremely physical which I didn't mind but I was often given more responsibility which I was never financially compensated for. I chose to work at Malibu for the 4 day 10 hour work week but I worked more 5 day 10+ hour shifts than not which ultimately led to my leaving. If I wasn’t working 50+ hours most weeks I would probably still be there. 

Malibu is a pretty good place to work all and all. The engineering department is small so you have lots of opportunities to really get hands on and effect the final product of the boat. However the communication in the workplace and flow of projects can be chaotic at times. There seems to be an inconsistency with the amount of actually engineering that goes into certain non-essential design projects. It is fun to take the boats home on the weekends and use the product that you helped create

What is the best part of working at the company?
Money, is the only good part about that company. If you're not a yes man or in the click you don't get treated fair. Supervisors,  team leaders and Human resources are definitely not fair. So all in all not a good company!!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with unfairness from supervisors and team leaders. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor,  THEY DO NOT care about their workers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful knowing that they only care  for numbers over quality

Was told I'd be working a certain thing then they put me into something else. The manager new a buddy of mine at my old job and contacted them about where I work ect just to start stuff. Poor management is why people don't work. I got out of a bad job and was promised it wasn't going to be like that and here we are. I have a family that I never got to spend time with and you understood that and promised I'd have time to. 4 10s turned into 5 11s ect all week. Why lie to get people to work there then make stuff harder for the employees who actually work and wanted to work there.
