Pros

The pay is good, only escalates to a certain point, but with the economy in Michigan, it's great. The people are friendly, helpful and professional. They recognize ability and a job well done. They are also not afraid to tell you when something is not up to par. This honesty is refreshing, and not done in a mean way, but rather to help you get back on track. There is a definite give and take, the groups work well together. You help others and they will help you.

Cons

There is a certain point where your salary caps, and also where there is no higher job you can do in the group. It would be nice to be able to advance further, however in my division, there was simply no where else to go. Therefore, I could not see doing this job for the rest of my life.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
