Pros

I worked at Generac for 6 years, and was very fortunate to grow as the company grew. The company is nothing like is was when i started, but that is the nature of a business that experiences such rapid growth.

Cons

The company experiences various cycles that depend on outage activity, whether from storms or blackouts. So, when these events occur, it raises awareness for the company's products. Unfortunately, when these events do not occur regularly, the awareness dissipates, and the company experiences slower business cycles.

Pros

Full of opportunities for people with initiative and drive to constantly want more in their career growth. Diversification efforts have paid off tying the company to several growth markets and at the same time helping to ease the fluctuations when one of the markets isn't performing well. Great opportunity to jump in and help build a future global powerhouse!

Cons

It can be hard for some people to adapt that are used to having everything solidified around them. Positions at Generac require an aptitude to help develop better processes.
