Pros

There is a lot of potential for this company to be a leader in all of its segments.

Cons

Managers and Directors are frequently let go without cause, notice, or severance packages. A lot of them were recruited or joined from the outside and spent less than two years with the company. Take that into consideration if you are looking to join Generac from the outside at a management level. There are firings across all the white-collar ranks every few months. Some days you come in and a handful of people are just gone. Frequent organizational and directional changes drive a lot of this turnover.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
