Pros

Reliable job. Generac makes some really cool generators and my job can be fun and rewarding. The people you work with will be nice and helpful. They'll hire you! Don't let a temp agency play you at Generac. This is a billion dollar company on the NYSE and there is potential for tremendous growth.

Cons

Many departments are constantly being "restructured". They use the word restructured because it sounds better then "these departments are unfix-ably broken". Interim manager after interim manger. There is a real us vs them mentality between hourly and salary employees. A lot of my co-workers and managers just wanted to keep what they had. No interest in getting promoted or improving things. I thanked my manager for giving me a job on her last day. She replied,"you had a pulse, don't thank me yet". They seem to hire to fire which is gross.

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.
