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.

Pros

EDI employs staff to work directly with medical/research non-profits, giving employees the incredible opportunity to help its clients realize their vision. Culture is very supportive - EDI supports professional development and membership in related organizations for its employees to help them continually grow and say on top of trends. They provide pathways for staff to be promoted and grow within the company. They offer a variety of opportunities from meetings logistics to committee management to meeting planning to medical writing and more. I've worked there for over 15 years and have had an incredible experience with the company as well as with the volunteers we serve.

Cons

No cons currently. Over the last 15+ years that I've been here, EDI has worked hard to support employees and respond to suggestions for improvement. For example, most positions are able to work remotely up to 3 days a week. EDI is also continuously updating technologies and systems to allow staff to efficiently do their work.

Pros

some work travel… but not many pros worth listing

Cons

the person who wrote the review below… only one person there has that title… and 100% they were asked to write this review by leaders….their listed pros are only given to favorites likes. The company pays horribly, is a revolving door of staff, promotes favorites like the person who wrote the review. So many people leave and the company won’t change. The company could be amazing if they stopped being so old school and treated their staff like people. technology is old, can’t be 100% remote and you get managed by so many fake ppl who make way to much money for the little work they do
