Pros

Some of the people there are great. Not really many more pros other than that. Its a experience builder for your resume

Cons

Products do not work well, benefits are not good, management knows it all, micro managed, pay is below average, located in the boonies, lab and equiptment is antiquated, stock has dropped 60% in last 18 months, and certain rules don't apply for certain people. Company mentality is cheap, asked to pull cost out of products that don't work well.

Awesome coworkers, semi-quick promotions if you work hard.

Management style by some in Manager/Supervisor roles is lacking/non-existant, Senority often wins, poor compensation compared to others in the same field.

Pros

There is a lot of potential for this company to be a leader in all of its segments.

Cons

Managers and Directors are frequently let go without cause, notice, or severance packages. A lot of them were recruited or joined from the outside and spent less than two years with the company. Take that into consideration if you are looking to join Generac from the outside at a management level. There are firings across all the white-collar ranks every few months. Some days you come in and a handful of people are just gone. Frequent organizational and directional changes drive a lot of this turnover.
