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.

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.
