Polaris Industries Employer Reviews

I worked at Polaris in Roseau, MN for 13 years. Over half of this time I was a replacement person on the assembly line so have performed most of the jobs. I was always very proud of what the company has done, until now. Their ads state they will "direct hire" workers for the assembly line. They do NOT state that you must take an all day "test" first. – more... I have recently spoken to people who took this test and I am shocked. It is very hard and contains many things, like percentages in the math section, which no line worker will ever need to do or know. Two of the four jobs in the simulation area are jobs that very few women would be able to perform. I personally know people who have worked there for up to two years and are still not Polaris employees, yet if they could not do the work they would not still be working there. I feel it is their way of keeping workers with a temp agency so they do not need to pay as much. It does have great benefits and can be a good place to work, but it troubles me that they are so misleading and unfair to new workers. – less

Good staffing and a good place to work. There is a lot of friendly people there. You learn a lot from just working in the industry.

Encouraged and empowered to continuously improve the organization and products.

Fast paced producton and assembly. Technical skills, such as paint or welding or forklift can make for a proporous career. Management professional somewhat compassionate to hourly emploees. A mix of co-workers some friendly some not, some good for you. being on concrete and repetitive work. Co-workers you can work-together with.
