Pros

There are a lot of dedicated people working here, and the campus is a neat place to work. There are MANY opportunities to heal the local community at TGC.

Cons

At least as of 2011, and I suspect things have changed with the sacking of the finance Co-CEO (let's not name names, but she was a real-life Sith Lord for sure), upper-management was inept and unable to properly govern with respect and intelligence. There were so many people being fired, staff were hiding in their offices crying.

This review does not appear to be related to The Guidance Center in Michigan as we do not have nor did we in 2011 a co-CEO or a female leading finance.
