Pros

Benefits and pay, other then that there is no other pros. All I can tell you is keep you head down and you might be able to retire from there.

Cons

If you're not in the club or have a relative that is higher up ,you will never move up. Also if you are the best employee that they have and someone higher up doesn't like you to find a way to fire you over the smallest thing. Whatever you do, never leave the union.

Great place to work as your final "into retirement" job

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, employee perks discount. There are a lot of very nice very good people.

Cons

There is really no emphasis or importance placed on growth or advancement. At any given time this company of 10,000+ employees has very few job openings (10-20). Everything seems to rely on knowing someone higher up- not your skill or hard work. Most promotions are a surprise and usually have nothing to do with the person's expertise or background. There is a lack of innovation and challenge. This is mostly due to there not being much competition. If you are young or in the early stages of your career this would not be a place for continuous learning/growth. While the rest of the world is advancing in technology and moving towards the future, DTE is still operating with processes from the 80s.
