Not what it used to be....

Pros

When I started at Generac the pros list was much longer, but as of now I will have to stick with, it has a nice new building, offers decent insurance, and 401k plan.

Cons

The company seems to care less than it used to about its employees. Work life balance seems to no longer be a priority. The company has turned into a rotating door.

Pros

Pleasant work environment, great people, improvements in evidence everywhere, and executive management with a plan for diversification. Good mid-size company benefits and good management level communications.

Cons

Manager to employee communications vary from plant to plant, department to department, and manager to manager - no standard operating plan/procedure at the employee level. Inadequate training plans and effort at all levels. Culture clashes due to many new and varied background employees. Compensation at some levels is not on a par with metro industries.

Good practice spot, not a home

Pros

Growing company gaining market share with big aspirations, a new building and facilities. Opportunities to learn new things and gain experience for a while. Some nice people.

Cons

Employees are not valued. Management doesn't coordinated across the different groups, we lack structure and accountability, so it's caos. Our new products are rushed through and sometimes have poor quality. Sales are down in general, so the pressure is on and our VP is rushing everything and he wont listen to us. He even uses profanity to push but without consequences. Many are very disappointed and looking for other jobs, or waiting for new management. We wrote reviews because we care.
