Pros

Diverse company that continues to expand into new technologies.

Cons

Generac got too big, too fast and now a lot of internal problems due to bad leadership are destroying the moral. They are layoffs and furloughs in multiple business groups, so maybe think long and hard about joining. The massive crash in the stock price has leadership running scared. They love to silo business groups, but this causes the problems they are currently facing. The CEO blames everyone but himself for the current environment.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
