Pros

Leaving this company was a new lease on life! I finally got my personal time back and balance in my family life. This company and its management slowly suck the life out of its employees.

Cons

Very poor senior leadership; way too political and lazy! The company and CEO takes pride in telling investors that it "tensions" its employees. This is code for "we load people up with work and maximize what we get from them until they are on the edge - or tensioned" I was disgusted the first time I heard him say this. That was the day I knew I had to leave this company! Candidates beware! You will be forced to work on your own time without pay doing Public Safety duty during power outages. Nobody told me when I joined the company that I would have to basically be a police officer on the streets of Detroit when the power is out. Again, no pay for the many times a year this is required and a very dangerous job! With all the money DTE makes, they can afford the hire a battalion of officers to perform Public Safety every time there is a storm.

Pros

One of the few companies in Michigan not doing massive layoffs compulsive gamblers will enjoy being right next to the MGM casino

Cons

ZERO advancement unless you happen to be in one of the little cliques. 20+ years in the exact same position is common. Many people are vastly overworked and all the execs want to do is "cut cost" more. Management deliberately forces 50% turnover in contractors each year and treats them like dirt, so there is no knowledge transfer in many critical systems.

Cons

Work life balance but they are working to improve this. Lacking in IT area, seems behind on latest and greatest technology
