Pros

Benefit package, lots of friends, exposure to a lot of different experiences where you thrive or die. Great place to work in any capacity not dealing with public.

Cons

Poor training, management sees staff as a tool to use and discard ("We can run a phone anywhere", "If you tell me our data says it takes 2 people and a week to do the job, I'm going to tell you to do the job yourself today. If you accomplish my expectations, 'I' have succeeded as a manager. if you don't hit my goal, then 'you' have a time management problem." Bend the rules until they break. Once they break, it's everybody covering their own arse. At the end of the day, DTE succeeds because they have no competition. There's no job development and they spit out bodies rapidly. They throw money and bodies at problems until a bigger problem occurs and money and staff go elsewhere. Nobody in management wants to be a problem solver because it requires admitting there are problems. At DTE it's all about appearances and little cliques. It's definitely who you know and who you blow.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
