Pros

The Ann Arbor location has great people. That was the only positive thing about it.

Cons

The corporate office is more concerned with acquisition instead of retention. They buy up business after business, but they fail to take care of the assets they already have. The Ann Arbor location has/had great people until corporate came in and ruined everything. Overworked and underpaid is the norm. Save yourself the time applying to only leave after 6 months to a year. Apply elsewhere and get treated your worth- or at least paid more.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
