The company expects unwavering loyalty, but they are only loyal to you until they don't need you - Senior Data Translator Consumers Energy Employee Review

Lots of catch phrases, buzzwords, and promises, very little action to back them up. Very much a "Check the box" culture. The people that tend to move up are generally those doing the least and putting on a good show. Employees are not a priority to the company, they are most concerned about the shareholders. Month after month, year after year, the message was about reducing waste. However, the company continuously created problems just to solve them. In Mid 2023 Senior Leaders acknowledged they weren't doing a good job of caring for their employees, so they put a change in the space on the agenda for 2024. That seems like a pretty important priority to set aside for the future. The company just sold a department within the company to an outside firm and despite the hundreds of years of combined service among the employees, many 15, 20, even 30 year employees, the employees were told that they were sold as part of the deal. That they could choose to go work at the new company or quit. Consumers Energy also didn't live up to promises made during the negotiation of the sale in terms of taking care of their outgoing employees who had provided years of loyal service to them.
