Pros

Seriously great location right in the heart of Milwaukee. Work hours can be flexible, and office holidays are generous. Good benefits, solid vacation time, and with a short work day (7.5 hrs), work-life balance is plenty achievable. Executive Director, Inc. (EDI) promotes from within. After being in a position for a year, employees may apply for positions with other clients, lateral or upwards. Professional development and networking opportunities are valued, and made available to those who are interested in growing in the association management field. There is potential for both domestic and international travel, depending on the client and job title. If you're thinking about working here: research what an Association Management company is if you're not familiar.

Cons

The process of approval from other departments (i.e. web and graphics) can delay projects, especially when depending on them so much. Maternity leave is at a typical 60% salary, but could be better.

Great place to work!

Pros

This is a great place to work if you are client focused and like working independently and within a team. EDI values, recognizes and provides support for continued professional development. Options for domestic and international travel (depending on client) are available. Many colleagues are celebrating 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25+ year work anniversaries. Partners are generous with giving extra time off for holidays and for community events.

Cons

There are ups and downs of work flow due to client programming; you must be able to manage your time and projects to fit within deadlines and opportunities - it's the nature of this business and not a poor reflection on EDI.

Good Company

Pros

Somewhat flexible hours; employer matched 401k match; employees health insurance paid for by employer; great location in downtown Milwaukee; partners are very approachable

Cons

There is a lack of strong direction from managers. Staff communication is weak to nonexistant, and the turnover rate is high enough that knowledge transfer - or lack thereof - is an issue.
