Generac Power Systems reviews

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

Definitely an old boys club mentality and you have to be popular to get promoted. You work very hard, very long hours and most managers do a poor job recognizing you in even small ways. Despite working successfully on a very large project, having a long tenure, saving multiples of my salary - I was shafted twice by a new manager with less than six months at the company - once by not allowing me to bid on a job, and then firing me later Management stood by and did nothing, which to me displays a lack of integrity or loyalty.
