Pros

If you're looking for a job in the music industry in Milwaukee, opportunities are few and far between. I enjoyed working with my accounts and my co-workers, but the corporation itself was a bit of a nightmare.

Cons

Turn and burn, baby. Get them in young and cheap and then send them out to pasture when they get too pricey (and by pricey, I mean making FAR less than other comparable opportunities) or too disillusioned with the same s*%t, different day.

Pros

This was an outstanding company with a rich history, cared about its customers and its people. The stability and security were unmatched.

Cons

Purchased by a Ukrainian company in the last couple of years, they've cut hundreds of people globally, and continue to cut now, in the name of "reorganization". Remaining staff are swamped, and looking for jobs. The company hires and promotes, but only those who are not located in the US get the opportunities. Moral is horrible, fear is intense, confusion is constant.
