Pros

Passionate leaders, fast pace, innovative products, best in class performance, competitive, great training program, can move anywhere you want, several different channels and departments, open door policy with executive leadership and excellent benefits.

Cons

Moving is a must unless you get to a director or above role, then they stay at that role for a long time. High turnover - a company moving this fast is not for everyone.

Good place to work

Pros

Work with really good people. There is a lot of opportunity to work on projects where you actually make decisions, not micromanaged over every little decision. The company gym is great.

Cons

It can be a bit clubby. If you are in with the right people you move up if not you don't, like most places but a little more here. The hours can be very long.

Pros

- Great place to jump start your career - Ability to take on a lot of responsibility - You get to travel a lot

Cons

- Lack of appreciation from upper management - You work LONG hours and aren't compensated for it - Don't value their hardest and best workers - If you resign they will either one, fire you on the spot or two let you go early. It is extremely sad to see how they treat people when they decide to leave the company. They are not supportive at all. You will see how many job openings this company has because so many good people have quit due to the lack of support and appreciation as an employee - HORRIBLE company culture, lack of any acknowledgement that you have a family and other priorities in life besides work - They will sell the fact that you can move up quickly but all it is is a fancy title, little increase in salary, way more job duties and openings are only due to the high turnover this company has - If you are going to quit, DO NOT PUT IN YOUR TWO WEEKS, they will let you go immediately or fire you. It feels horrible quitting without being considerate and giving a two week resignation but Milwaukee will not reciprocate that consideration back to you - You will work more than 40 hours a week, bonus structure is horrible as it is only once a year and all or nothing (you hit your bonus or you don't, not compensated if you are very close to hitting it)
