Pros

I worked at Generac for 6 years, and was very fortunate to grow as the company grew. The company is nothing like is was when i started, but that is the nature of a business that experiences such rapid growth.

Cons

The company experiences various cycles that depend on outage activity, whether from storms or blackouts. So, when these events occur, it raises awareness for the company's products. Unfortunately, when these events do not occur regularly, the awareness dissipates, and the company experiences slower business cycles.

Disaster

Pros

Lots of hard working and knowledgeable people you can learn from, however the management doesn't seem to. Can abuse sick policy without any ramifications. Constant turnover, so you meet a lot of people. I think the pay is fair, I make the average in the area for my job, some of my friends make more and have more vacation.

Cons

Very disorganized. Executives sit in meeting and design the products, instead of listening and trusting the people that work under them. Project scopes are constantly changing, and creating more work, or projects are so rushed mistakes happen and it creates more work for everyone. Either way more work and long hours. Lots of animosity between groups, they are always ready to throw you under the bus. PROCESSES or lack there of. No one follows the ones that are in place, processes are not approved by the teams that must use them day to day.
