Pros

had some great people great products but wow what a terrible negativity hanging over your head at all times.

Cons

wow where to start, old culture old buildings but never saw more infighting among vp's then at generac . talk about one backstabbing another. I was fired after being told by my vp that the buyer of acct didn't like me so they let me go. turns out buyer never said that. then again my vp still to this day was literally the most unprofessional person I have ever met. better yet our two biggest accts doing almost 100M forbid him from ever attending any meeting yet we couldn't tell him that. my last yr our goal was 45 M, we did 46M. about 3 yrs ago business was down to 23 M so no telling what its at today. thx for letting me go paying me a good severance while I was interviewing on the side anyway, thx for letting me go and saving yourself the 135K I was making, now I will make close to 200k with no stress at all and working for a family first co who has blown away its corp numbers each of the 5 yrs I have been there, talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse.

Pros

Good for executives, and directors they can enjoy bossism.

Cons

No work life balance, some of directors of engineering will NOT treat employees respectfully, they just want to look good to their boss, they will push on unrealistic things just by joining the company few months back. So there will be always turnarounds and openings in company website. consider this as last option. working like old manufacturing company , taking work from engineers by threatening by removing from job. no motivation strategy . not good process to execute the work, but these directors have no idea about the current process.

Pros

Full of opportunities for people with initiative and drive to constantly want more in their career growth. Diversification efforts have paid off tying the company to several growth markets and at the same time helping to ease the fluctuations when one of the markets isn't performing well. Great opportunity to jump in and help build a future global powerhouse!

Cons

It can be hard for some people to adapt that are used to having everything solidified around them. Positions at Generac require an aptitude to help develop better processes.
