Pros

Very cohesive IT department where everybody knows everybody. Everyone is learning and that's OK there. There aren't really any 'rock stars' to worry about, with everyone having different skill sets.

Cons

The IT department there really wants to become a Windows shop (they may be one at the time of this writing). This is not what I wanted for myself, as I wanted to work on Linux with a lot of open source software.

Pros

Great union compensation & benefits

Cons

Extreme racism for any employee who isn't straight or white. The worst part is MESSA is stuck in a bubble. They only promote from within- and hire only their family members so you have various pots of family members all working there. It feels very much like incest and it's definitely cliques. If Michigan's school teachers only knew how much MESSA employees are paid while teachers struggle, it's shameful.
