Pros
Very cool product. A lot of dedicated, passionate employees, especially in the working ranks (beneath management). Nice facilities, great history.
Cons
Where to start. Work-life balance is gone. Polaris is your life. There are so many layers of management that it is extremely top heavy, but the people actually doing the work are being worked to death, with multiple "bosses" telling them what to do. No raises in 2016 for the second time in 7 years, but *shocker* a flurry of "promotions" in the management and director ranks. No raises for the working class, but of course if you're above the riff-raff, you just get a promotion that comes with a salary adjustment, BUT IT'S NOT A RAISE! LOL. VERY little career advancement opportunity. The vast majority of the management and above level positions are hired externally. And worst of all...one man holds all the power now. With the departure of Bennett Morgan, Scott Wine is now the CEO, COO, President, and COB. No more checks and balances, and no more scapegoat. Look at the financial performance of the company...something like 28 straight quarters of record growth and earnings, followed now by either 3 or 4 straight quarters of missing forecast and shrinking guidance. Yet Scott Wine is so laser focused on bringing this company to $8 billion in revenue he is collecting companies like a kid collects baseball cards...sadly he is buying companies that are diluting the Polaris brand and portfolio, not adding to it. Indian and to a lesser extent Kolpin and Klim were good additions. On the flip side, there is a LONG list of garbage: Axiam Mega, GEM, Goupil, Taylor Dunn, this new auto parts company, etc. He is destroying this once great company. Long tenured employees are jumping ship on this wreck in droves. When you have a company of nothing but green recent college grads, and all your knowledge base is departing with your long term employees, you have a problem.
