Pros

I am working in an R & D role and making the decision to join Generac is one of the best career decisions I have ever made. There are some great technical challenges for those willing to learn and I have become a team leader within my department. Recently due to growth a new director was hired in my department, and we have built a great working relationship. The new hire training is adequate, and my teammates have been very helpful with the onboarding process. The pay is fair, and benefits are adequate as well. Overall, if you willing to learn and work in a team environment, this is a great place to work.

Cons

Initially, I was reluctant to make a job change since my previous role was also a great place to work. The reason was I read some of the negative reviews online about Generac and I almost passed on the opportunity. I decided to conduct the interview and noted the hiring manager was very direct and easy to talk to. So far, the only con is the online reputation from some posters does not match with quality work experience I am currently enjoying.

Pros

Some really great people, the building upgrades are nice

Cons

Backstabbing and pettiness are abundant. Everyone is micromanaged and there is absolutely no work life balance. And if you are female you will earn at least 40% less than the males.
