Populus Group reviews

Everything - The pay, the HR team's inability to ever answer a question, errors in my paychecks, taking Detroit taxes out of my checks when I worked from home (home is not in Detroit), the Christian greeting cards during holidays and events, the fact that they wouldn't give me a raise for my promotion UNTIL I have a two weeks notice which in that case it was too late (for 6 months they said they were following up with the GM team and they never did).

The company is very much a stepping stone company aimed at new college grads and/or spouses who still want to be able to work and have the flexibility to take care of kids while their spouse is the main breadwinner. The compensation structure is super narrow about $5k salary range per position which makes it extremely hard to stand any chance of seeking an increase to be paid what you deserve based on workload and the projects you produce. In order to receive a sizable pay increase you must be promoted to the next level, there is no room to grow in your position. If you become a rockstar at your role, you cannot stay in that role and have your salary increase due to tenure/excellent performance. There is no room to grow financially as our pay bands are EXTREMELY narrow. If you are looking to make a max of $45k per year nothing more, this is the spot for you.
