Pros

Great Managers in Milwaukee, but the good ones leave.

Cons

The union (UAW) will eventually force the company to move in 2018 when the contract is up. The neighborhood is dangerous.

Pros

Well respected brand. Reasonable starting pay. Fairly flexible with vacations etc... some tenured staff with knowledge of operations.

Cons

Future product pipeline is weak and slow. This is not a nimble organization. Recent restructuring, acquisition and job cuts have created a real negative culture. Not much being actively done to correct the culture. There is no retention plan in place for roles which have very limited or no future growth path. Attitude of Sr. Management is that your luck just to have a job and should be grateful.

Pros

Dominate the market therefore very stable in its finance. Overall very friendly environment with minimum politics. High company ethics and good compensation and benefit. Co workers take their job seriously and add personal energy. Modern office and amenities differs than companies in the area. Very close to Milwaukee airport. New leadership and management structure will lead the company to a bright future

Cons

Many upper level changes in recent years lead to confusion of direction. Company wide software tool not doing a job helping people solving there day to day problems. Dominate market position result in less competition thus weaken company's strategy in continuous growth
