Pros

401K??? I don't see any other Pro.

Cons

Many of the Marketing and Sales Directors (there are few exceptions) are people that look down on you (the higher the level, the worse). It's pretty interesting that there are no african-american Marketing or Sales Directors but they talk a lot about diversity. Work-life balance??? Inexistent. Family Company? To be family owned doesn't mean that you or your family are important for the company. You can go to the JMBA! Yes.. but if you leave in Chicago it's pretty far... You can buy products at the Company store!... Yes... but if you leave in Chicago you spend more money and time going to Racine than going to Target/WM. So, many of the benefits are for people around Racine or working there. Unhuman Resources. They don't know who you are and they don't understand the different functions.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
