Pros

Generac makes good products and their brand is strong. However, their culture is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced. Tremendous turn over in all positions. Management is very arrogant and the expectations are unrealistic. Warning: DO NOT WORK AT GENERAC!

Cons

Terrible culture of mistrust and unrealistic expectations. Tremendous employee turn over (including Senior Management / Execs) Unrealistic Expectations that cannot be met. Terrible work/life balance. Don't let the Wisconsin location fool you -- it's more of an East Coast mentality as opposed to a friendly mid western environment. Literally hated working at Generac and I have loved my previous positions with other companies.

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.
