Pros

Because DTE is a utility it is a very secure company to work for. Many employees are able to spend their entire career working through the ranks within DTE.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can be very limited in part because so many of the employees have been with the company for such a long time and seniority is key to advancement. DTE does a very poor job of growing and retaining talent so the people who rise through the ranks into senior management tend be people who have lasted the longest.

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.
