Pros

Entry level positions if you're young or not that much going on outside of work, good.

Cons

Made up job titles that don't match any industry standards and internal job seniority levels that either serve to keep folks at a lower pay range but tack on more responsibility or allow for vagueness in responsibilities that pigeon hold you to staying there and make it difficult to look for suitable and better paying roles with other companies that have the same function. For example, a Business Analyst or Data Analyst may be called something else such as a Pod Review Support Specialist or Reporting Data Czar. The functions may be industry but the roles are not something that anyone outside of there would recognize. Given it's vagueness, allows for the company to set their own standard and range of pay, which is often much lower that other companies. They bank on the amenities and allure of the downtown Detroit area or false culture to get you to stay. This has fostered a toxic work environment. They talk about family and culture but it's all surface level at best. Furthermore, there is a push to embrace "the only constant is change" mentality. This doesn't help when you have a faster change in leadership to where every new leader wants to "change and shake up" the status quo. Except the status quo never had a chance to kick off because the prior leader was only in the role for less than a few months. Their ISMs make sense but overlap in theme and are not really followed unless it's convenient to push a bad idea through a business area. The only people that like it there are the people in charge or the people that don't know any better. The unfortunate part is they keep that ratio leaning to the people in charge side. You are not family and everyone is expendable at one point. You are conned into revealing personal parts of your life only for it to be used against you and a way to keep you in an underpaid and overworked role.

Pros

The culture here is amazing. I've never seen an employer care so much about their employees, and the sympathy/understanding from my immediate leadership is astounding. Even as a new employee I could feel 100% of their support for my personal wellbeing from day 1. They do honest business and take care of their clients, which is another great motivator to contribute the best you can at work. You can feel that you make a difference to individuals, communities, and the general public as a whole.

Cons

The health insurance and 401k benefits aren't as good as other places I've been. I pay $330 a month for a high deductible plan for myself and family, where my previous employer had a similar plan for half as much. 401K isn't a percentage match but rather a 50% match of your contribution capped at $2500, which isn't as good as a percentage match for higher salaries.
