Wyoming, MN

Former Employee – worked at Polaris Industries

ProsComfortable work environment, Great subordinates, and highly competent management, as well as the ability for professional growth was some of the best i have experienced yet.

ConsThe ability for higher ranking or senior employees to listen to ideas and methods of junior employees was lacking, as well as the ability to predict employment status for any future period was disappointing.

Advice to Senior ManagementOver all i loved working with Polaris as a whole but would only change the ability to continue internships, as well as be able to employ the interns once there time is complete and they have proven themselves to all tasks given.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
