Don't Drink the Kool Aid

Pros

Benefits are good, insurance is affordable, coworkers are fun

Cons

Passive Aggressive Atmosphere...Will hire anyone who walks through the door which leads to horrible team building. Pay is well below the market for our area and it feels like they go out of their way to make it harder to complete our goals. Our Manager comes to our location once every 4-5 months and we don't hear from him in between. People are rewarded for doing the job they were hired for. You met goal - here's a gift card. Not You didn't make goal? How can we help you? Very High School (sometimes Middle School) atmosphere. Foul language, harrassment, confrontations between coworkers. HR does nothing, supervisor closes office door and ignores. Office physical environment is horrible. Bathrooms constantly out of order, phones drop calls, temperature impossible to regulate. Our office doesn't have a fancy cafeteria or walking trail. Jefferson is the Red Headed Step Child of Generac. Only YES MEN are promoted. if you question any procedure, policy or make suggestions for improvement you become stagnate.

Pros

Good company. New Corp. office w/cafe'. Growing fast. People are friendly and easy to work with. Pay is not bad.

Cons

Expecting too much from certain departments that need more employees, but will not let them hire, while other departments hire more than they need without question.

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.
