Company is growing; more resources being added & people being hired. You get to work on some really cool stuff. My boss does a good job training me. Great benefits.

Cons

Very slow to change "That is not the Generac Way" is the reason given to shoot down new ideas. Salary is only average

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation for good employees, can have a strong outlook for the company if storm activity continues to be strong or the data center business continues to grow

Cons

Overwork employees, constant change in direction from leadership, unclear job responsibilities, micromanaging from the VP level down

Generac could care less if it is a good place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects, some good co-workers

Cons

Engineering leadership expects many Engineers and engineering teams to work 12 hour days without any extra pay indefinity. The new VP of Engineering pushing this is winning points with executive leadership and Human Resources. Obviously they could care less about their employees and whether its a good place to work or not.
