Pros

Made friends, like you would in prison. Can listen to music, for now. Can fratrenize and get away with it. Made my resume look amazing so I could escape this interment camp and get treated like a human being.

Cons

Upper management is a terrible group. Misogynistic comments, fraterinization, condescending, lackluster educations, "too busy" to help or listen, doesn't even interview you before hired but will yell at you later for not living up to their outrageous expectations. If you are good, you get every project. If you don't care, you get promoted over those who have been there for years. If you disrespect authority, they treat you better and give you special treatment. If you're female, they'll only like you if you're cute. You work 12 hours and get asked why this or that wasn't done. Someone works terribly slow next to you and gets paid more. You know the science behind things? Doesn't matter, you are a robot and you aren't good enough. Appreciation isn't in their vocabulary. False, fake, liar, hypocrite, however, are their key words for life.

Pros

Work life balance was good in that there were no consequences for missing timelines so you didn't need to bother with overtime or homework.

Cons

1. The pay is far below market, even for Michigan. It almost impossible not to get better pay elsewhere. 2. Management plays favorites and if you're not on the hot list you're treated like livestock. 3. The company is very cheap, and will shoot themselves in the foot to save a dime. 4. Corporate culture is disgusting. Backstabbers, and liars are everywhere. Everyone hides behind paperwork and bureaucracy to avoid doing their jobs.

Pros

They offer decent benefits and PTO

Cons

They used to be a great place to work until we went corporate. Before that we were treated well for our job performance. The turnover in our department was relatively low, usually because of better opportunities elsewhere. However, once the new accounting manager was hired, people started dropping like flies. It was ok with HR if we were talked down to, lied to, yelled at (literally). Don’t even bother to go to HR-they do not care about the employees. Gives Human Resources a whole new meaning. “Pillars of Trust” is a unfunny joke. There is always too much to do and not enough employees to do it. I don’t mind working hard and keeping busy, but we were continually hampered by spreadsheets and pivot tables instead of actually doing the job. The stress was over the top.
