Pros

Health insurance offered was pretty good.

Cons

No training. Salary was below average considering the type of work we were tasked with performing. Work load was unmanageable. Unwillingness by upper management to hire appropriate amount of staff to handle the work load. Upper management extremely secretive and unsupportive of lower/middle management. Completely inflexible about schedules.

Pros

If you're looking for a job in the music industry in Milwaukee, opportunities are few and far between. I enjoyed working with my accounts and my co-workers, but the corporation itself was a bit of a nightmare.

Cons

Turn and burn, baby. Get them in young and cheap and then send them out to pasture when they get too pricey (and by pricey, I mean making FAR less than other comparable opportunities) or too disillusioned with the same s*%t, different day.

Pros

You don't bring it home, literally or emotionally. Not micromanaged in my department.

Cons

Closed-minded management, poor management skills across the board, antiquated ideals, not open to new ideas, no flexibility in hours (unless you have children—parents get a lot more freedom and flexibility), blatant double standards throughout the company, majority of employees have been there so long that there's no room for advancement or change --- most are stuck in their ways and do the bare minimum. Complaints made about disruptive employees repeatedly fall on deaf ears. Not a progressive company in any way, does not support outside interests or volunteer work (unless it involves going to the gym owned by the Chairman or supporting the charity the Chairman supports), does not promote from within, pay not based on experience.
