Generac Power Systems reviews

Negative upper management. Its all about the V.P's and directors hitting there numbers to line there pockets. If numbers are low all departments have extra pressure put on them to perform. Lack of positive feedback, and the expectations required are often unrealistic. The company philosophy is to over manage and micro manage, this often includes verbal jabs and threats about loosing your job. Most of the employees in my department are currently looking for employment elsewhere. The dealer network is also burnt out on management putting pressure on them for more growth. The tensions in the air are so thick you could cut it like a knife thru butter. Pay is below industry equivalents, management has the attitude of "to bad there are plenty of others that would be happy to have the position"

Many followers but no leaders. Unacceptable behavior, comments, jokes are all perfectly acceptable at Generac. Racial humor, sexual innuendo and any other act or treatment which may diminish an individuals sense of identity, dignity or self worth is quite commonplace and generally accepted as "factory workers being factory workers". Leads engage in and encourage this behavior as "just having fun". Supervisors could care less and HR could care even less than that. Register a formal complaint and you are a marked target. Minorities and others who are offended go along to get along. Fear of reprisal plays a big part of this. Antiquated machines, long hours, sweltering hot, unrealistic production standards and a poor safety program. Quality is preached, not practiced. Just getting the parts out is the main focus. You want to go back in time? Apply and get hired at Generac. It was not for me.
