      Pros

      Definitely a growing company and has been for years. If you are an individual who likes to be challenged, has an open mind and can think outside the box, is adaptable to change and wants to be recognized then come to Generac. You can be an individual player but with a team atmosphere. I do believe that there is a reason why Generac was voted as one fo the best places to work!

      Cons

      Generac started in a barn so if you are coming here for glamour and a company that offers ammenities- not the place.

      Pros

      Company growing quickly in spite of the way it is managed. Lower level co-workers are great.

      Cons

      Management very elitist , if you don't have a VP in your title you are not one of the "Club"

      Pros

      Great opportunity to get into the power generation industry if that is what interests you. The company really is world-class in terms of leading the industry. The benefits package is very fair. The new CEO is younger and could potentially change some of the company's old ways.

      Cons

      The company is very "old boys club". Most of the upper managers have worked their way up in the company since it's early days (the company is only 50 years old) It is hard for young people to gain respect of managers, coworkers and company "lifers". The company is/was very very very antiquated in terms of work/life balance. At the time I left, there was no "flex-time". Meaning as a salaried employee you had to work until 5 every day no matter what or take vacation time. You couldn't for example, work 7-4:30 on a day if you had to make it to the kids' soccer games by 5.
