Pros

Location and that is about it.

Cons

Soul crushing environment where employees are constantly planning to escape. I have not met one person who is happy there. I think the only reason people stay is because they are afraid no one else will hire them. The lack of innovation and abusive culture shapes you into thinking that you are worth nothing. Currently planning my escape route. Do not work here unless you are absolutely desperate and have a very strong sense of self that cannot be shattered by horrible management.

Pros

Great place if you are aspirational and are interested in association management.They manage 27 associations. If you are a team player and make your wishes known about professional development opportunities to advance are there to be had. Good on-boarding program. Lots of networking opportunities. OK pay for entry level association field. Great benefits. Tuition reimbursement and certification available. Great office space in downtown Milwaukee. Many different kinds of jobs once you get in the door. Opportunities to travel if that is your thing. More chances for advancement in association management than Chicago or Madison. Only manages national and international organizations. .

Cons

Hire many staff right out of college which creates some challenges for mid level managers. Entry level staff need to work hard to stand out. If you don't network and build your reputation you get lost in the shuffle. Turnover of entry level staff is a challenge.
