Pros

Their Waukesha facility is pretty nice on the inside, recently renovated. The cafeteria had good variety, although a bit overpriced. Casual dress on Fridays, but they always had a stupid theme. Give that up already... No one cares. Just let people wear jeans. If you're a hard worker and have a chance to get face-time with a higher-up, you might actually get some recognition. Maybe.

Cons

The CEO's base salary is $800,000. The rest of the executives are in the upper 300- and $400,000's. At that's BEFORE a likely disgusting amount of bonuses. So at least they're compensated *fairly*... while the rest of us scrape by with our 2% below market, sad excuses for pay.

Pros

People are friendly. Cafeteria onsite but most likely because you are too busy to leave and go out for lunch. Pay and benefits are mediocre.

Cons

Lots of turnover. They can't keep people and the good people that are staying are getting overworked and burned out. It would be appreciated if managers encouraged employees to take a full lunch and leave for work on time at 5. The stress of being overworked and working late all the time unpaid (salaried) makes it difficult to enjoy life outside of work. Show employees they are appreciated. If you can't provide raises, if we are working overtime consistently how about give us a few extra vacation days. Show us that you appreciate us not spending time with our families after 5:00 because we are sitting in our cramped cube working away unpaid.

Pros

Not Much Besides Having a Job

Cons

Management is poor. The communication between departments and management is extremely poor. Extremely hard to progress your career.
