Got great experience but no upward mobility
Pros
Nice 401k match of 6%. They moved me around to different rules so I got lots of good experience. Got to travel as an SQE and see lots of interesting places. Learned a lot about engines and manufacturing. Since I left they decided to build pontoons in the sturtevant facility which may make that campus profitable again.
Cons
Left BRP sturtevant because after 7 years of being there they were starting to hire kids out of college making almost as much as me. Never saw a single person get promoted past supervisor during 7 years of working there. They always filled management positions with people from Valcourt or outside. Zero upward mobility in the sturtevant location. They didn’t pay out any bonus for sturtevant employees the last 4 years I worked there even though the other brands were growing very fast. They also started offering 10 year warranties on evinrude engines without analyzing the warranty rates / costs. Never got to ride a ski doo and very limited opportunities to ride product.
