Pros

Colleagues were knowledgeable and passionate about their roles and wanted to see leadership changes.

Cons

Leadership is absolutely poor. Upper management was and is hostile and they promote a toxic work environment. HR was not willing to hear complaints, and nothing was confidential. I left and former colleagues reach out to me daily asking if there are openings where I am. I feel sorry for MMSD and the citizens of Milwaukee, WI. The client and citizens are getting robbed

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
