Pros

Great compensation, challenging work, hard working people. Enjoyed working at Generac for almost 10 years. Upper management has a great vision of moving the company forward.

Cons

Priorities change frequently at Generac. This can be a negative when not planned appropriately. Balance needed between demand and available resources.

Pros

Accuracy of Glassdoor ratings, except for the 4 or 5 star ratings that look suspiciously written by HR Paid on time (well, except that one time... you all know what I'm talking about) Building is being renovated (as slow as possible to spread out the cost over multiple years) Hardworking men and women (although there is no choice) Career opportunities (getting to do your own job and your co-workers job because they left) If you don't like your co-worker, will get a new one in six months. Cafeteria is nice, Health Care plans are nice Certain departments are tolerable (or even enjoyable) to work in; others, I would not wish on my worst enemy

Cons

Many company systems are broken beyond repair More turnover than Sweet Perfections bakery Below market pay and pay increases "Work life balance" is all work, no life Could be terminated or not have positions filled in your department so that quarterly numbers look better

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, wonderful people to work with, and growing while bringing more jobs back to WI. The amount this company does for it's communities and customers is some of the best I've seen.

Cons

A lot of turnover across the board. Likely caused by not being competitive in salary and benefits and not placing the importance on safety. Corporate driven and there seems to be a divide between corporate and the plant sites.
