Pros

Great culture, cool and innovative products, motivated peers and leadership throughout. There are a few reviews on here that criticize work/life balance. I personally do not see this as a problem - those with the 60+ hour weeks are typically self inflicted. There is a ton of support here and everyone is pulling together. You just need to be mature enough to ask for help if you need it. Of all the employers in the Milwaukee area, this has got to be one of the best organizations. There's a boat load of growth potential for the company and for your career. Highly recommended.

Cons

Don't be intimidated by the "not for the faint of heart" stigma. This is true but if you are a hard worker looking to do good work, rise up to the challenge. The one thing I will say is there could be some more diversity in the workplace though this has been improving as the company grows. Non-core hours are occasionally worked when conference calling global teams (China, Europe). This is typical with any international company and takes some adjustment.

Pros

Without too much promoting pressure, everyone is interested in there own way. Give educational and instructional advice to everyone. It is also outdoors activities

Cons

Not very equal for new people or employees and stressful for game-changers. Trust on timely help and assistance is a problem

Pros

American company that still makes a few of their products in the U.S. World Class consultative sales training Make your own schedule Free truck and tools Expense account Fast growing company, so lots of upward mobility

Cons

Extremely corporate setup Really have to drink the Cool-Aid Outside Sales, so not much interaction with co-workers Lots of work for a small base salary that is not adjusted for regional cost of living -same position in Cleveland, Ohio makes the same salary as someone in San Francisco, CA Lots of windshield time
