Pros

Laid back work environment, a good amount of paid time off. Fun environment to work in. Discounts on boats.

Cons

Not very flexible work hours. Must be at work 8am-6pm everyday. Almost too laid back at times, takes forever to get anything done.

Lack of Direction, Confusing Incentives

Pros

MarineMax is a company with many different locations, and if you like being in the boating atmosphere, then MarineMax is the place for you. PTO for full time employees, and minimal 401K matching. The company did seem like it was making improvements to its CRM software, which is good.

Cons

Due to there being so many different branches across the US, there is a lack of direction and lack of consistency among the dealerships. The branch managers generally have the final say, and there really is not room to grow. If you are a good salesman, you will make a decent living, but it really depends on where your dealership is located. The incentive plans that MarineMax sends out are generally confusing, and there seems to be a lack of transparency. Working weekends is a must if you want to make any money. Lead stealing happens very, very frequently so you have to watch your back on every deal.

Fun to be around boats but not for a living!

Pros

Going out on boats during the work day! Commissions can be decent if you have a nice brokerage deal and/ or new bigger boat deal. Definitely the right company to work for if you want to do it long term. Benefits are decent and unlike mom and pop shops, this company gives you a little base salary

Cons

Well you have to sell a lot of them :( You're expected to work A LOT.
