Pros
Many people get to be involved in the product lifecycle from it's inception which is a lot nicer than some bigger companies where people just do their specific job and pass the project off to the next person. Here, you get to learn a lot about the products and processes. Everyone works together and most people get to wear many hats. Depending on your position, they also are flexible about moving you around in the company. Generac is also very focused on growing and diversifying the business so they're not so dependent on storms to increase sales any more.
Cons
It's a revolving door. They don't retain employees because they don't put effort into it. They pay people in the office decently to start, but it's a good year if raises keep up with inflation. They pay barely minimum wage to the production employees, so there are weeks that 5 people will start, and you're lucky if 2 of them are left at the end of the week. You're even luckier if one of them is left after a few months. Office employees rarely have only a 40 hour work week, and production employees have mandatory overtime and weekends when we're busy. The company is growing and expanding our reach, but it is growing faster than we can hire employees to take care of new projects and products. We barely get a handle on something and will get thrown something new while we're still trying to hire from the last increase in products or the last round of people that quit. We're going to run through the entire workforce in the area
