Pros

There are no Pros unless you are a yes person.

Cons

Does not practice what they preach. Does not work with people that have medical issues. If you are on FMLA you don’t qualify for any incentives and they hold having medical issues against you. Moving up in the company is impossible unless you are in the in group. This place is a revolving door and hire people that are in Jail.

Pros

Generac is changing - improving culture and work life balance. The CEO is doing a great job running this company. Every time I hear him speak, it is inspiring and makes me proud to be at Generac. There are some great things in the works for the future of this company. There are certainly challenging times just like with any company but Generac is growing by pulling all the right levers. Love the people i work with and i am gaining more and more confidence in Senior Management leadership.

Cons

I think the most challenging aspect of a rapidly growing company is meeting the demands of scaling processes globally. I think we are starting to turn the corner on that.
