Mind you this a MULTI million dollar in sales per year company. At the time of this review about 400 employees strong. I consider myself a Craftsman that has previous experience in the field I was hired to work. You can't pass off bad builds here as they go through a 2 step quality check. That being said I had nine years in with excellent work and a feel good attitude about my builds. I truly love what I do. 

My past experience in management however gave me chills after about 4 years in. Managers are very autocratic. You are a number my friend no matter what. Very little give to the table as the managers know better than you. That absolutely made no sense. The faster I work the more they give you. I get that but the pressure of a sometimes multiple cabinet very tight turnaround where you get product late or it's incomplete and or cut wrong is just unbelievable. No matter how you try to help fix that in any way shape or form - it won't change a thing. 9 years trying to help and make sensible changes just wasn't in their interests. 

Pay. Looking back pathetic. Started at 12.50 in 2016. 9 years later 19. IF you are a lucky few like myself you might get a mid year review with a small raise. They will tell you it's just a few that get this - please keep this to yourself. You must realize an employer 400 strong just won't give you that 25+ pay per hour for quality work. It's not in their mindset. 

My summary is just in production- none of the many other departments. You are watched. Held to high expectations and walk the line routine with little to no compensation. Clock in system and rules that are somewhat barbaric in nature. No hot water - bathrooms that get constantly shut down because it's our fault we backed it up. Talk about we love you. Folks it a my way or the highway attitude.  Take this review from an employee that loved his work - proud of my craft and skills - and find something that gives you the knowledge of who you are. Just my 5 cents.



Teak Isle - Boat Outfitters Customer Service is a great place for professional development. They train well and allow opportunity for growth. You spend majority of the day talking to customers on the phone and sending emails. Management cares about your personal growth and is flexible with schedules. Very fun work environment and the customers praise the products that we build. Hardest part is balancing emails, phone calls and projects but they teach you how to be efficient with the time you have.

Great place to start whenever getting into a career. Make sure to leave once there is an opportunity available. If it is a lateral move chances are high that it’s still a better job. Fraternizing within company also gives you special privileges [as long as it is with correct leads/managers]. Notable cons:
-Nepotism
-Brown-nosing
-Inexperienced managers
-Long hours with no overtime pay
-Negative Reinforcement

Overall, if you have no other option, well, continue looking.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Company is extremely customer focused.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is very autocratic. Empowerment of employees is a foreign concept here.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management philosophy ... my way or the highway!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constant micro-management. No growth potential.

Its a great place to work, but the hours are a bit long for the pay. And since the engineering department is above the production floor, you only get a half hour break for lunch time. Work hours are from 7am to 5pm, which is a bit long.

Pay start was average 
Lot of policies- rules but no one to actually enforce them correctly
HR is a joke 
Managers are on the lookout for good looking butties

Good work environment. Monday - Friday hours. Company cares about there people.  Continue improvements to the work place and managers are kind to there people 

i enjoyed working there as a machinist CNC operator. i would operate machinery,
