Pros

Over my 7 years at Brunswick, the leadership continued to improve.

Cons

The rewards for meeting quarterly goals weren't great (ie t-shirts instead of cash, or a gas card!), especially considering the huge growth in the marine industry in the past several years. They definitely could have afforded a better show of appreciation.

Worst manager, team and HR experience I've ever had.

Business Outlook

Pros

There really aren't any I can think of at the moment.

Cons

Pay was lower than similar roles out there in my field. Completely inflexible with doctor appointments to the point where I was told I was not able to take them during work hours anymore. Health and dental could have been much better. Their "sick" time and PTO policies are so antiquated that I eventually had to hope to get unpaid time off as if you are sick more than once or twice a year you are penalized for it by having to use your own PTO for it. HR was completely unsupportive in anything I needed. My manager was a mean spirited condescending person who did not try to make me feel welcome at all. My team was filled with babysitting employees who would go behind your back.

Pros

Great products. Benefits top notch. Ability to work in satellite office + HQ.

Cons

Bureaucracy, Favoritism and Old Boy network abounds. Insider culture that foster hierarchy and inhibits collaboration. Not too diverse. No Mentoring. Career development is foggy at best unless you are in the 'insider group'.
