Pros

Ideas for change are encouraged. Good benefits. Detroit has a good atmosphere and in the heart of the Farmers Market area.

Cons

There have been alot of changes in management and outsourcing in many departments. So some employees are never sure where they stand.

Not great but not horrible

Pros

Detroit office has free parking, office sponsored intermingling is cool, the community service team does great work

Cons

Still out of date with a lot of technology but moving in the right direction. There are a lot of "cliques". Benefits are awful now unless you're making enough to cover medical expenses out of pocket. Raises are pretty much non-existent. If you get in a small department it's hard to get promotions or move up and out.
