Pros

Great people and a lot of training provided. Huge potential for sales in the market.

Cons

Very behind from a technology point which significantly limits sales potential. Very poor communication feedback from senior management on performance, goals, and expectations. The company and management needs to be more agile and willing to change in order to grow, but they still operate like a private company and severely stuck in their old school ways.

Pros

Benefits are good, insurance is affordable, coworkers are fun

Cons

Passive Aggressive Atmosphere...Will hire anyone who walks through the door which leads to horrible team building. Pay is well below the market for our area and it feels like they go out of their way to make it harder to complete our goals. Our Manager comes to our location once every 4-5 months and we don't hear from him in between. People are rewarded for doing the job they were hired for. You met goal - here's a gift card. Not You didn't make goal? How can we help you? Very High School (sometimes Middle School) atmosphere. Foul language, harrassment, confrontations between coworkers. HR does nothing, supervisor closes office door and ignores. Office physical environment is horrible. Bathrooms constantly out of order, phones drop calls, temperature impossible to regulate. Our office doesn't have a fancy cafeteria or walking trail. Jefferson is the Red Headed Step Child of Generac. Only YES MEN are promoted. if you question any procedure, policy or make suggestions for improvement you become stagnate.

Terrible management. Only out for themselves. Could careless about treating their employees right. Need to sleep or flirt with coworkers in order to get ahead.
