Pros

Great product and brand recognition in the market. For an engineer you really get exposed to the full product rather than working on 1 part of the generator.

Cons

Stuck in your position. EVERYTHING rolls downhill. They hire more and more management, but the responsibilities kept falling more and more on the lower level workers. Sales dictates Engineering and they do not allow for enough time for testing.

Pros

Reliable job. Generac makes some really cool generators and my job can be fun and rewarding. The people you work with will be nice and helpful. They'll hire you! Don't let a temp agency play you at Generac. This is a billion dollar company on the NYSE and there is potential for tremendous growth.

Cons

Many departments are constantly being "restructured". They use the word restructured because it sounds better then "these departments are unfix-ably broken". Interim manager after interim manger. There is a real us vs them mentality between hourly and salary employees. A lot of my co-workers and managers just wanted to keep what they had. No interest in getting promoted or improving things. I thanked my manager for giving me a job on her last day. She replied,"you had a pulse, don't thank me yet". They seem to hire to fire which is gross.
