Pros

Populus Group is a great place to work from day one. I have been with the company for many years, across different departments, roles and life changes. The atmosphere and culture continues to be consistent in supporting my growth and family along the way. I am challenged to continue to grow and push myself outside of my comfort zone. I have been supported with balancing work and family. I have fostered lifelong friendships and network of people that will continue to push me to better each and everyday. I couldn't imagine working at another company in the future. We have a really great thing going on here that is unlike any other.

Cons

For me personally, our office in Troy, MI is far from where I live and the drive can be taunting but with the alternative work schedule it makes it a bit easier.

Unique Company Culture That Allows You to have a Voice!

Pros

Populus Group is unlike any company I've worked for in the past. PG listens to and values the feedback of it's front-line employees. There is a ton of opportunity within PG if you're willing to put in the work. Aside from that, PG has some really cool perks like the "Treat Yo Self" fund, plentiful PTO, and a family first mentality.

Cons

Populus Group has expectations that you will speak from the heart, work hard, and take initiative. If that's not the type of place you thrive in, this environment will not be for you.

Pros

PG has a unique culture and it’s true, it’s not for everybody! We value candor, transparency, and giving and receiving feedback (continuously) because we believe that’s the best way to build trust with our employees, customers and partners. I’ve been with PG over three years now and have gotten some of the most candid feedback I’ve received in my career (from both managers and peers). Yes it stunk at the time and was tough to hear, but those are the things that build character and trust. I am so grateful for this culture because you’re able to safely bring up things that bother you or share ideas that aren’t welcome in other work environments. We are really selective in our interview process because we want to make sure those who join our community value the same things. Otherwise it’s not successful for either end. Overall, love PG, its values, leadership and the community they have built.

Cons

If you have thin skin or lack accountability you won’t be successful here. Truly a rewarding culture if you’re someone who takes ownership of themselves, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks for taking the time to write this! It's true - our culture places high value on candid feedback, which fosters a lot of trust and growth. But it's certainly not for everyone!
