Pros

Your first 3 years you will be challenged and if you are good, you will be given a lot of opportunities. Eventually you will find that small group of managers at the corp level "pull all the strings" and if you are not in the "club" you will find that will not matter how good you are you will hit a wall.

Cons

Small group of "Leaders" run the show no matter what your title is. If you are bought by Actuant start looking for a new job or take the package. They are currently brining "Leades" from other companies, in reality failed Managers from GE, IR and other Milwaulkee based companies instead of growing the talent in the organizations they buy.

Medium sized company which can limit new opportunities if you are not willing to relocate.

Pros

Lots of great people to work WITH

Cons

There is a MASSIVE divide between Leadership/Management and regular employees. HR is EXCLUSIVELY there to protect leadership and the company, cannot be trusted.
