Run, Don't Walk, Don't Even Consider It - Sales Specialist Generac Power Systems Employee Review

Pros

Work/life balance (for my position at least), basically could clock out for the day and leave work at work - except for the existential dread I experienced each Sunday night at the thought of having to return back each Monday morning for another dreadful week. Oh, and there's a gym upstairs.

Cons

Management is divided, so when they aren't analyzing every move you make, they're fighting with one another. Major power struggle. Compensation is pretty low. Not a lot of room for growth (especially if you're in an awful, undesirable position to begin with - they'll hold on to you with a tight grip). I had friends in various departments throughout the company who equally disliked their jobs. If you're looking for a company that cares even slightly about employees, this isn't the place for you. Show up, do your mundane task each day, and don't expect much personal development.

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.
