Pros

The people are fantastic at this company, corporate politics and backstabbing at a minimum. Not a 7am to 7pm culture, and sells fun products that means going to fun events.

Cons

The japanese leadership is changed out every 3-5 years in most positions, so you are constantly getting new people that know nothing about your business that have to be trained and adjustments have to be made based on their personalities. It is very ineffective. For example the CEO on this page is already gone. Also there is a lack of upward mobility.

Pros

Great workplace, great coworkers, and great culture if you’re passionate about the powersports industry. The benefits are good, 401k match is good.

Cons

Pay compensation could be a little better, but this industry is cyclical. When the economy is good, raises and bonuses are easier to obtain. During tough times that affect the industry as a whole, things can get lean, but understandably so.

Pros

My onboarding experience with Yamaha has been excellent. From day one, I have felt that the company has truly invested in my success and taken the time to ensure I have the tools and support needed to perform at a high level. The leadership team has been welcoming, organized, and committed to setting new employees up for long-term success. The floor associates are extremely hardworking and represent some truly outstanding people. There is a strong sense of teamwork and pride in the work being done each day. It is clear that many employees care about doing things the right way and supporting one another. I am proud to be part of such a well-respected brand and look forward to representing Yamaha and contributing to the continued success of the organization.

Cons

None to speak of at this time.
