Pros

Great health benefits. Co-workers have been wonderful at every branch I've worked.

Cons

New management style being implemented (micro-managing). Unreasonable goal expectations for location of branch. Promotion from within is slim to none (regardless of what they'll have you believe)

Pros

Great CIO with great experience in former companies, great IT staff, knowledgeable in their subject matter, very team oriented. So very much team oriented in the Service Centers it's "us" versus "them" which leads to a mushroom mentality "en mass" . Stevens Point maintains all the middle managers (one just moved to the other side) and some knowledgeable people (who don't say much due a lack of local IT jobs). Green Bay Service Center has all the experience but is stymied by middle management from two hundred miles away. They used to have much more experienced staff but most of them moved on. If you like competition from your own boss then this is it!!

Cons

Extremely poor middle management. They can't communicate with each other, cannot prioritize projects and HR provides extremely poor health insurance coverage. Something you'll really need after a few months there. A prime example of what not to do as a Corporation but then again non of middle management has ever really been in a true corporate environment so I guess thats ok if they make a few Hundred) mistakes (over and over). If you like to improve things or fix things this is not the place for you. Here it's "Projects" or else, no free thinking only robots allowed.
