Pros

The pros went away when the last several acquisitions occurred. My bosses were cast-offs from Atlas Copco and Pabst Brewery. Milwaukee was a great place to work but that died sometime back.

Cons

Everything about the place. Lost guaranteed insurance as an exempt manager when the new leadership came on board. Even though that 50K policy was guaranteed by the then President of the Company. He was someone who worked up the ranks at Milwaukee and whose word meant somethning

Pros

Awesome pay Bonuses have bought me my house All the whiny people here should quit complaining. My bonuses in just my first year out if school I have bought a big house with. If you are in a position they pay you so little it is because you are of no value. Then move instead of whining!

Cons

There is none, the bonuses and pay is incredible.

Cons

long work hours, nights and weekends ensure average hourly rates slightly above minimum wage new hires recent grads with limited skills no knowledge of company rest of team shoulders much of the responsibility meeting are unproductive unnecessary causing major interruptions completing work false talk of advancement at reviews gets tiring used to disguise increased responsibility and workload results in no additional compensation dangling of carrot & stick is demotivating you get close and its moved just out of reach malcontented employees percolate and effects quality of work
