      An ethics problem

      Pros

      If you meet at least two of the following criteria, you have a good chance of being promoted while not doing any work: attractive, charismatic, liar, manipulative, friends with or sleeping with any of the sales VPs.

      Cons

      If you don't fall into the above category, you have an equally good chance of being demoted or even fired while working hard and doing a great job. There are many other cons, but this cultural issue is the root of the problem at Generac, and none of the other issues are going to get properly addressed until this is addressed.

      Pros

      Fast growing, energetic feel. Great people. Ethical. Career advancement potential. It is a company with good fundamentals, a great strategy, and on the right track. Surprisingly very little bureaucracy for a public company its size. They have hired a lot of really talented and experienced people in the last few years which has greatly benefited the knowledge base of the company. A lot of recent investment in people development.

      Cons

      There are some growing pains as the company has rapidly grown and is expanding quickly with a global presence. However, growing pains are normal and company management has good vision and sets right culture to meet the challenge. You need to be someone with realistic perspective and be patient with (and be excited about) the constant continuous improvement projects. If you're someone who is uncomfortable with change, this isn't the place for you.

      Pros

      Unlimited opportunity to showcase your skills.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is horrible. Be prepared to spend your time detailing and reporting on every small nuisance of your day in and day out activities, when you should be in front of customers!
