Pros

I was a DTE employee for more than 10 years. Jerry Anderson really cares about his work force and is trying to turn the culture around into the 21st century. The co workers are great, whether their a contractor, field worker or engineer, their all pleasant, polite and willing to help out.

Cons

Theirs no check and balance on the supervisors or managers. Basically, what ever they say, goes. They can easily ruin a persons career at the drop of a hat without basically any over sight. Human Resource claims to be a neutral party, but in the end, their not. Basically, make sure your supervisor or manager doesn't feel threatened by you, and no matter what, whether its good for the company or not, remember to always agree with your supervisor or manager.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
