Pros

Madison is genuinely a great city to live in. There are a few great employees here.

Cons

Leadership operates with volatility that slows execution and causes people to become indecisive. Senior hires are expected to drive growth, yet the structure and alignment needed for success are never provided. When the predictable fallout comes, accountability shifts downward while the former CEO moved seamlessly into a board role. The pattern feels familiar: those with power fail upward, while those doing the actual work, often women, carry the weight or were perhaps set-up to fail to begin with. The organization would benefit from an independent governance review, stronger accountability mechanisms, and a leadership model that prioritizes competence over internal politics. Watching capable leaders exit while disruptive behavior is effectively rewarded reflects a broader problem in corporate leadership structures, not an isolated incident. If we win only when we deflect by disparaging others, we're not winning.

Pros

They have an 8% retirement match. There are some nice folks but overall there is nothing here that outweighs the negatives.

Cons

This company is ping-ponging around every 3-6 months trying to find a strategy that works. Throwing money around with no long term plan. There've been 3 rounds of lay-offs in less than 2 1/2 years. Many of whom haven't even been there a year - and there are more to come in 2026. The company culture is a disengenuous comedy of pizza parties and posters that sound good but mean nothing. High performers are not welcome here - they can see through the chaos and don't stand for the unprofessional and sometimes unethical treatment. So they have to be driven out by demeaning them, demoting them or discharging them outright. This company prefers compliant, mediocre employees that don't present any challlenge to the fiasco's as they unfold. Many of the people managers are ill-equipped at best and incompetent at worst. The 125 year-old fraternal "member-focused" mission is being dismissively hollowed out by the CEO. Joining this company is professionally akin to buying a ticket on the titanic. It might look good at first...but chances are slim you'll make it out alive.

Pros

401k match. Working remote which they’ve phased out

Cons

Literally everything. They don’t appreciate hard work. I lead a department for two years to which they started with nothing. Not even a sales CRM. the culture is trash. One of the years I was there they gave everyone except our sales department raises. Meanwhile you have customer service people off the phones to do arts and crafts. This place isnt focused on anything business related. It was also a nice touch suggesting great ideas and never getting to be part of things I suggested only for those suggestions to be taken from someone else and implemented anywhere from 2-6 months after I was the one to suggest it.
