Good job. Exciting place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

Company is growing at a increasingly fast pace. Given the freedom to essentially manage myself as long as my work is getting done. Lots of collaboration with team members. Exciting to see products ive worked on shelves in store in sometimes less than 12 months. Excellent cafeteria and gym facilities. Lots of passionate people working in all the departments.

Cons

The amount of projects forced thru on a yearly basis can be overwhelming if you don't manage your time. Beginning to outgrow the building- almost out of parking spots and bathroom stalls. Management in certain departments seems to have an ungodly amount of time off. Lack of profit sharing is a huge bummer as companies profits raise year after year.

Pros

Great work environment and good people. The products are awesome and you receive a nice employee discount. Good benefits - Health and life insurance, 401K with matching, on site gym in Brookfield. Company has been growing at a decent amount year over year for at least the last 5 years. On site cafeteria has good food and average prices. Most people will receive a company paid cell phone and laptop. Most people are very passionate about their jobs and the company/products.

Cons

The office is getting very full in Brookfield. Most people have less work space than they used to. It can be hard to find a parking spot and people park all over where there aren't spots designated. The review and compensation process is not the best. Most people receive cost of living increases even with a stellar review. Even with a promotion it can be hard to get paid fairly like you would if you took a job at another company. In all fairness, some people are paid very well, but it's often not easy or possible to catch up if you are underpaid.
