Pros

Cool innovative products, nice building, summer hours for some. Benefits also okay.

Cons

Doesn’t know how to be a larger company. Culture is by far one of the worst I’ve been to in my career. People are dispensable commodities, leadership is out of touch. Generac will give you all sorts of “grow with Generac” propaganda, but often hires from outside or makes up excuses why you are not qualified for the position. Company leadership has an old school mentality. Work from home flexibility is going away, even though it’s rare to see director and above actually in the office Monday or Tuesdays. Most people here are using it as a stepping stone to something different.
