Overall - OK. Would return under certain conditions Great entry-level job for recent college grads!

Manager, information technology

Business Outlook

Pros

Great teams and people that work the organization. They truly do believe in doing the right thing and most everyone there lives and works this in their daily lives. You will never find a more helpful and caring group of people anywhere.

Cons

Everything seems to be centered around cost savings and "being wise with members money". While that is a great value to have in an organization, it seems it comes at a cost: Quality staff, needed technologies, and the over-dependance on contractors make for a frustrating challenge for any leader. There also still seems to be some bitterness/rivalry between the Minneapolis and Appleton staff that can make for a toxic work environment at times.

Business Outlook

Pros

Freedom, unlimited salary potential, mostly very kind people. Good training at the start. Very ethical company. Strong product base and good products.

Cons

Difficult to succeed if you are not very active in a large church and very religious and know many people who value faith based companies. Difficult industry in the best of circumstances. Not much personal support after hire.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance, flexible work schedules and emphasis on giving back to community (even during the work day; employees get generous amount of paid Volunteer Time Off each year).

Cons

Things tend to move very slow and there are often lots of people involved in making decisions (can almost be to a fault). Often times direction/goals can feel very high-level and tactical plans at department-level (at least in my department) are lacking.
