Generac Power Systems reviews

Man I really don't know where to start. Mandatory 9 hour days for more than half of the entire time I worked there (which was about 3 years). Management does not work with employees, there is a great deal of favoritism which is unfortunate but common in companies with such unqualified management. Their pay is less than average, their benefits are ok, unless there's a hurricane you will not get a bonus. And if there is a hurricane you will work 60 hours a week and probably Sunday. People in the office get to leave for lunch, but no one working in the factory can leave for lunch. Don't provide any food vendors.

I was forced to work six 12 hour days for 5 months without overtime pay. I am not making this up. So were about 8 other engineers and designers. 12 hours every Saturday too. Towards the end we were forced to work Sunday, also. I was told there would be a 25K bonus for this, we received less than 10% of that, and we have to stay at generac 3 years to get ""it"". The turnover is terrible, but nothing changes. Of course "Generac is hiring!" We were told we had a choice to join this team or not, but in reality not joining would mean you were at best blackballed, and at worst your job was in jeopardy. Project timelines are just plain stupid. You are signed up to fail right from the start. They are impossible to hit, and every project is late, customers are mad, it is just a disaster. I could go on and on about this place, but I see that others have already done a good job of this. The 72 hour a week project was also late, the team was told "you did not put in enough time at the start of this project, that is why it was late". So much fun! Take a job at generac at your own risk.
