Terrible Organization

Pros

If you were wealthy enough to buy stock 5 years ago, you're happy. Salary is within expected range but only if you have fierce advocates on your behalf and you've been promoted to management.

Cons

This company is successful because it sells generators in a world that's falling apart. It's the beneficiary of external circumstances rather than smart or good business practices. Executive management is completely out of touch with its employee base. Turnover is high and the company doesn't have a plan to keep its best people. In fact, keeping its best people is not a priority for this company. The only priority is maximizing profit at whatever cost necessary including at the expense of its very lifeblood, the employees who make this company successful. Decisions are made without thought or consideration for the long term consequences both in business and HR. The benefits package is far worse than any other company I've worked at. Ignorance and arrogance abounds -- a dangerous combination. The company has a bright financial future, the wealth generated by more frequent natural disasters give it the financial wherewithal to recover from bad management. Don't expect a piece of that success unless you are lucky enough to already be in the top levels of the hierarchy. When a problem is brought to light, each department reaches quickly for another department to blame rather than work together to resolve the problem. Generac is rotten to the core.

Pros

Cafe is decent. That pretty much sums up all of the pros on this horrible company.

Cons

Finance Managers are terrible. This department works against each other to make each of them look better. Disrespectful and degrading of coworkers on the daily. Derogatory comments given by so called "Managers". They don't give a crap about you. Special treatment is given to those that kiss up to management. Benefits are not that great as described, high co pays and deductibles. You can only work from home if the wind is blowing right, moon aligns and there is no chance for rain that day. Don't let them fool you. Working from home is frowned upon, but calling coworkers names, making fun of them and other horrible crap is what gets you to the top!

Pros

Not a good place for electrical engineers. I worked for Generac for two years. I did not experience anything good out of it. Low low pay. The average salary they offer is $30 k below any other company in Milwaukee area. Too much work. Too many projects. Micro managing.

Cons

Just read my pros section cause it is full of cons. You will regret this every day if you work for this company.
