Built partly to preserve the sightlines on campus and minimize water and waste runoff, the gathering place hosts the Verona high school’s annual graduation ceremony as well as Epic’s monthly staff meetings, at which attendance is required. Workers who fully commit to Epic — who survive the long hours and grisly sights — are treated to a remarkable perk. Once on board, employees take a multiweek training course that includes basic business etiquette as well as Epic-specific skill building. They also teach a tactic called “badgering” — remember, it’s Wisconsin — or the art of being persistent but not maddening. And just being able to go see the impact you were having, that was really, really cool.”
