Pros

Stable well known brands make up this company's core portfolio. They are privately held. Convenient location for those in south eastern Wisconsin. Flexible hours and okay pay for this area. The daycare is pricey but the services they provide are a life saver to working parents.

Cons

Currently going through downsizing and 300+ people will be let go in Racine alone. Headquarters are located in a city with the highest unemployment rate in Wisconsin. Benefits are being sacrificed to save money. Employees used to be valued but this mindset has changed dramatically in the past 10 months. It is not about what you know but who you know. It is no longer the family company of their tagline. The mighty dollar is more important than employees and the community. Right now the company is in disorganization.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
