Pros

Helath plan is reasonable, clean working enviroment. Job is predicatable and steady. Cafeteria is a nice addition however it could be bigger.

Cons

Manager who is supposed to review my work is unaware of many of the things I do. Communication & cooperation between departments is a joke. Generac spends more time fighting against itself than the outside world. The company has grown too big too fast without a game plan for how to implement changes & blend in the subs. After many years of feeling like I have been fighting against the current I have l lost motivation and now feel like I am just watching time go by until I find another opportuntiy somewhere else. The people who care and who try to point out the issues are ignored and end up moving on. With high turnover no one knows who to go to or what their responibilities are. Looks good on a resume but that is only because the rest of the world isn't witness to the dysfunction that is Generac. No flexabilty in working hours and pay is lower than average.

Pros

Good start to get your feet wet and something on a resume.

Cons

Micro-managing at its peak! There is a small group of Sales VP's who basically run the show and the politics are horrific. You're promised that if you do well you will move up (I had over my numbers in EVERY area for well over 2.5 years) but didn't move up. One of the highest VP's refuses to promote women unless he's attracted to and sleeping with them. The environment is hostile and makes you angry daily! If you NEED a job, its money but not even at a market standard. Looks good on a resume and the training is okay but after that RUN LIKE HECK!

Pros

some (seems to be who you know, not what you know) people get advanced.

Cons

Most jobs have one title and no room for a promotion. although over the years you are given more work, more responsibilities, but no compensation or job title advancement. Our Managers/Directors and the HR department say they are "working" on this, however no results have come to fruition.
