Nautique Boat Company

They're a good company with great benefits and currently having a successful run. All of which are appealing qualities when you're job searching. Coworkers are welcoming and eager to see new people join & progress once you're there. But the reality is you can only truly expect to be successful if you'd already gotten your experience with the job duties elsewhere. You're presented with a 90 day training & evaluation period. This seems standard with a lot of employers these days (even less appealing ones) wanting to invest in your success & development and to best ensure employee retention. But the reality is you're expected to be in regular production within the first week of hire & the remaining 90 days is just for them to judge whether they'll still see you as a good fit. So it's a great place to work if you're already a seasoned worker in the industry; but a deflating experience if you're someone starting out in the industry.

A "typical" day does not exist with 600+ employees.  There is always something new walking through my door.  Everyday is also a new learning experience when working in Environmental Health and Safety.I have learned how to track manifests from chemical pick ups, how to contend with chemical spills, work with employees and Workers' Comp  on filing claims, filing paperwork for federal and local government agencies, conduct department inspections, etc. The hardest part of the job would be balancing all the different facets of Safety, from ensuring everything is in compliance with the environmental aspects to health.  The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help employees that have safety concerns working together to find a resolution.  The best thing about Nautique is the workplace culture.  Nautique is very much a team and we work hard to maintain a safe and positive culture.

It’s a good place to get the basic experience needed for better opportunities. I would not advise staying for the long run. Pay is very low and the overtime is mandatory. Often working longer then 10 hour shifts, with Fridays. 4 10’s are great, if it was actually achieved. But the overtime is needed to survive.

Location is terrible, just about everyone paid a lot in tolls or had to take longer alternative routes. Benefits are okay, nothing to write home about. Unfortunately 401k vesting takes years and most likely you will want to move on before then.

I would also suggest going to bible study, even if it’s not your thing. It just make life easier when management thinks you truly believe the company motto, ”To build boats for the glory of God.”

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s a good company to work for if you like teamwork, management it’s always trying develop new ideas and ways to improve and there’s a great incentive program every quarter ( bonus). Overall I am very happy to for Nautique.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a manufacturing facility so you can expect to work under pressure to achieve company goals and Daily schedules.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a friendly work environment, hi pace and  lots of opportunities to grow in the company and our mission is to build boats to the glory of God.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy and interesting, as a Maintenance Mechanic every day it’s different and there’s always something new to work on and learn.

Let me say this. NO JOB SECURITY. Benefits are great, bonuses are great. Pay is not good for what you actually have to do and actually have to inhale while working 10 or more hours a day. No job security and i mean no job security i mean it. The absolute worst. Got hired learned a lot. Did a lot. Got a highest raise in my department. Laid off due to COVID but come find out they keep an employee that got hired after me lol. The pay you receive i promise is not worth the amount of work and sweat you have to put in. It’s just not worth wasting your time and energy into this place. The managers say they care about you but they absolutely do not lol. It’s kind of like a scam. 

It's a good place to work if you are just looking for a job but if you care about what you do and have pride they will take it out of you. They don't like to fix problems, they would rather hire someone who just shows up and doesn't care about their work performance than hire someone who cares and does a good job but speaks up for themselves on what they believe in.

Started at 4:30 am sometime we worked to 5:00 pm always never if we had the weekend off.  No work schedule.  Hardly anyone spoke English. Very frustrating to say the least . Some people didn’t know now to work production or sew .  Some mangers didn’t know how to do there job. And pushed it on you. And you had to make it up for the slackers ! No organization!  And they upped production every month .

Came to an interview today. The supervisor was very informative. Unfortunately walking through the whole manufacturing facility very little to no personnel were wearing mask. Very little ventilation. It’s very concerning how they enforce their safety protocols during a pandemic. When stating my issue to the supervisor he stood quite. I hope he reevaluates his employers safety  and protect them during this time. 

a very good experience,plenty of hours,good pay,great team to work with,i will say the machine shop needed to be updated,when I started,the walls were bare block,so I painted the shop to improve visability,boke all the machines down,cleaned them,painted them,and reassembled them,I also labeled each department to identify them for company tours,which had not been done.

Worked here for almost a year. Supervisor don’t know how to motivate workers blame workers for missed production but they don’t have parts to finish boats!
