Pros

Only work here if you’re interning or for an entry-level job, but do not stay here for more than 3 years. Good exposure to a wide variety of products, people, and departments. It’s an easy opportunity to gain experience. There’s a handful of nice and cooperative individuals.

Cons

*Most managers don’t know what they want, which makes it extremely difficult when presenting work to them. *You’ll work two months on something, follow every instruction, and your “manager” will look at it for a second and say they don’t like it – without providing any reasoning or alternative. *Too many micro-managers working for themselves rather than working for Generac, each with their own style of running things which leads to chaos and confusion – resulting in projects walking in circles and nothing getting done. *Extremely poor and minimal communication between managers and employees, and an extreme case of people talking behind backs instead of confronting the problem and moving forward. *People share way too much information about their personal problems rather than staying professional and on-task. *Don’t be fooled by the interview, you won’t be doing any of the appealing work mentioned. *Lack of technology, and strict internet blocking - reduces learning by blocking YouTube videos. *Don’t be fooled by the pretty renovations and your own desk with nametag, it’s a trap. *I know of an individual who has lain with one or more married managers to be promoted. *I’ve seen many talented individuals leave for better companies. *Two types of people here; entry-levels who stay for less than 3 years and move on to better, and burnouts who stay here 15-20 years only to collect a paycheck. Engineers come here to end their careers.
