Pros

They have a nice campus and a good cafeteria. The grounds are very well maintained, and the fitness center is top notch. Too bad you will be too busy to enjoy these things.

Cons

Their strategy is to hire IT consultants rather than employees. There are almost no long term employees left in IT. Career growth is a joke. The consultants keep leaving too, and are constantly being replaced. On the bright side they are providing a lot of experienced people to the Milwaukee job market.

Pros

Company is very stable and open, benefits are excellent, on site fitness center and cafe is among the best in SE Wisconsin. Great place to work if you are in insurance side, not so much for the IT side.

Cons

PMO was transferred out of IT and that was the best thing that happened for us. IT lost a lot of good people due to a deliberate effort to cut salary and drive experience (i.e. high salaries) out of the company. If you're on the inside, you were safe, but eventually what comes around goes around - the PMO managers who let go of a lot of the old PMs eventually got "forced out" as well. Don't see many "20 year" employees in IT.
