Pros

NONE at all - absolutely NONE!!!!!!!!!

Cons

Employees, from staff to deans, are treated very poorly - utter disrespect daily. All campuses have been laying off employees for two straight years. They laid off people who have been there 25+ years several times this year, yet they continue to start new construction projects. Enrollment is so low they are threatening employees will lose their jobs every week. It is tiring. Everyone is walking on eggshells. Every other month they terminate so many people that it's impossible to keep track of who does what now. They eliminated nearly the entire academic dept on the Flint campus, then the entire business dept was eliminated - then in Auburn Hills, deans, faculty, and directors who served for YEARS and YEARS were fired - and then they turn around and hire young, inexperienced, recent graduates PART TIME to keep from paying decent wages or benefits. If you work here, you will be treated very poorly on a daily basis and there is a very high chance you will be fired, out of the blue, for absolutely no reason --- unless you are related to upper mgmt. Then and only then is your job safe.
