Pros

NOTHING. There might be some pros in the locations outside of Milwaukee, but seriously, there are none at the Corporate location.

Cons

Poor management, top to bottom. In fact, most are very rude and condescending. The company and the management does not care about their employees. Raises are small. All the money goes to the rudest top level managers. They have a 401k matching, but it is not given in each pay period, instead, they hold on to the match and give it in one lump sum. Corporate doesn't value your work or contributions. You'll never hear that you did a good job. There is no structure around performance planning, employee development, etc. There is no structure on anything in corporate. It's a wonder they can even run this business. You are strongly advised to shave facial hair. They care much more about your appearance than your performance or personality.

Pros

The over-the-top culture of accountability means that you typcially get the internal support you need. This is critical to a success if you're customer-facing and a welcome change from today's "matrix" organizations. You will likley be more disciplined in the environment they've created.

Cons

The culture is extremely conservative, individuality is discouraged and honest feedback is often not received well by Management. Although, you may not always know that right away due to the passive/aggresive way issues are handled across the orangization. They are unapologetic regarding about their HR policies, some of which are antiquated and sexist. For Salespeople, the excessive turnover makes it difficult to gain trust with customers.
