      Pros

      Some good people somehow still remain. The Waukesha and Pewaukee offices are decent sites.

      Cons

      It's taken me over a year to mentally heal from my time at Generac. The leadership and culture is toxic, and with every engagement survey, gets worse. I was prohibited from interviewing for a promotion because of internal politics between business groups, so I quit in order to be fairly compensated. The pay is terrible, bonuses are near impossible to get, and the benefits are below average. The CEO will never change a thing because he still runs the ship like the founder did, so 1970's-1980's boomer work culture!

      Toxic leadership

      Pros

      The clean energy business unit had interesting projects

      Cons

      The leadership team was completely taken over with former Tesla employees. They would make bad decisions and push everyone really hard to make up for the timeline they just ruined. Also, they do not tolerate any sort of push back on schedule, and do not trust the experience of anyone who was not from Tesla. The employee surveys were also a disaster. An independent consulting company came in and ran it, their finding was was that half of employees were upset with management and didn't trust them. Managements solution was to "increase communication" instead of replacing the problematic directors.
