      Great company, no value for their people

      Pros

      Innovation, growing!, promotions, company vehicle, leadership training

      Cons

      No value for people, "it's what you're paid to do," lower level management has little to no management experience, lots of bosses with little to no coaching or leading by example

      Pros

      Incredible track record of success here has "raised all ships". If you're really good at your job, you'll be recognized and can rise the ranks quickly. Tremendous focus on looking forward & finding the next great thing - be it new product, new technology, new strategy, etc.

      Cons

      Feels frenetic at times. We're good at being small, but we're getting big and there's little 'process' to keep guardrails around the growing business & workforce. A little rough around the edges culturally. Many managers good at encouraging 'work/life balance' but in order to truly succeed here you have to put some pretty serious hours in.

      Pros

      Opportunity for personal and professional growth abounds. People are empowered to make decisions and show results. Business is full of "A" players, most high-functioning team I have ever been a part of. Tons of upward mobility. Business is hugely successful. Minimal amount of bureaucracy. It is hard work, but very rewarding if you like being challenged.

      Cons

      Long hours, difficult tasks, and high-stress. The nature of consumer-goods in 2015 is that we are in a global market. We buy and sell from and to all corners of the globe. That means working in other time zones, and being faster than the competition. Milwaukee is no different. Minimal bureaucracy comes with lack of process. Lack of process results in inefficient or duplicated work, but this is getting better. Pay seems a bit light for the amount of pressure, time, and results.
