Pros

The employees at MPHI are great and so are the health benefits. Also nice having access to a free company gym.

Cons

Everything is based on the grants funding which can be stressful if your department doesn't have enough funding. You pretty much work entirely for MDHHS doing their undesired work and they expect you to do more than they pay you to do. Also a very slow-pace, quiet work environment.

Pros

This review applies to internal staff, not to those who work for the State of Michigan. Great culture of teamwork and camaraderie. Good office culture, decent benefits, and flexible remote work options. Really varies with your leader.

Cons

The leadership is naive (especially the C-suite) - they think they know everything but rarely listen to staff. They pay themselves very well, while staff members, at times, struggle to receive proper compensation. This difference may at times be based on how you are funded. There are some personalities (in leadership and those who influence) that are toxic, seek to exclude, create in-groups and out-groups, division, and manipulate it. At times, those in leadership acquiesce to these personalities.
