Pros

Recent building updates, focus on global expansion as a growth strategy and continued focus on leadership is making a difference. Company is investing in SAP, new equipment, and more innovation. Jobs have a broader scope than you will find elsewhere.

Cons

Growing pains can be challenging as company lacks clear objectives (margins and KPI's) so difficult to hold leaders accountable to achieve results. This leads to pointing fingers instead of corrective actions.

Pros

had some great people great products but wow what a terrible negativity hanging over your head at all times.

Cons

wow where to start, old culture old buildings but never saw more infighting among vp's then at generac . talk about one backstabbing another. I was fired after being told by my vp that the buyer of acct didn't like me so they let me go. turns out buyer never said that. then again my vp still to this day was literally the most unprofessional person I have ever met. better yet our two biggest accts doing almost 100M forbid him from ever attending any meeting yet we couldn't tell him that. my last yr our goal was 45 M, we did 46M. about 3 yrs ago business was down to 23 M so no telling what its at today. thx for letting me go paying me a good severance while I was interviewing on the side anyway, thx for letting me go and saving yourself the 135K I was making, now I will make close to 200k with no stress at all and working for a family first co who has blown away its corp numbers each of the 5 yrs I have been there, talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse.
