Pros

Little to none. Pay is ok at best.

Cons

The management is atrocious. They consistently put the unqualified and idiotic in charge. They have somepeople on the floor who see problems and find solutions, but the people high enough to implement them don't listen or disregard them. In addition, they are plagued with low quality employees that have been allowed to do or not do whatever they wish. There has been zero repercussions for simply not doing any work, or worse, doing their work in such a way as to damage systems in place/productivity both from negligence and malice.

Pros

Paycheck is on time,and clears the bank.

Cons

You will have only 1 weekend (maybe)off a month. "HR" will tell you it's "occasional",it's not, The management seems to get worse every year. You will be put in many unsafe situations, then you will be blamed when something unsafe happens. If you enjoy being at work 6 to 7 days a week then they will love you,untill you make a mistake. Generac has " big city" ideas and "small town" implementation.
