Pluspunten
Most of the time, the work hours were not long and the office is located in downtown Milwaukee. The traveling was nice, but not worth it in the end. They do place a large emphasis on professional development and most items requested are approved if you are well liked by the management.
Minpunten
Don't expect to be valued here, as it seems that the motto of the management is that 'everyone is replaceable'. Maybe this is why there is such a high turnover? They hire young, pay you very little and the benefits are not very good, especially if you have a family and/or plan to have a baby. Most people do not last over a year, although I was there much longer. The organizational structure leaves a lot to be desired. The partners are in charge of a number of clients and are stretched too thin at times in order to adequately manage the executive directors. However, you will still be micromanaged on a daily basis by those that have less experience than you. They have many meeting managers in positions executing large contracts that they do not have the experience to handle, which could lead to major problems for the clients. No training is offered on this and it seems that the leadership at EDI may have even less experience protecting their clients. I also had some ethical concerns while working there, but these were ignored by leadership and by HR. Overall, I would not suggest starting here unless you are VERY desperate for employment.
