Pros
You get to work in a brand new building with a gym and work out classes available to the employees.
Cons
This company prides itself on being a "family" company that cares about the people of Detroit and their employees but it could not be further from the truth. They have you sit through a week long orientation where they go on and on about their morals and how much the Ilitches care about families, even having you spend half a day watching a documentary dedicated to Mike Ilitch and how great of a man he was. They put a large amount of effort to have you "drink the kool-aid" so you feel super special working there. I was hired on via a staffing company which should have been my first red flag - the corporate recruiters could not find recruiters themselves so they paid extra money to utilize an agency? At the time of my interview I was already finishing up my job search and had multiple competitive offers on the table but out of respect I wanted to complete the remaining interview I had already scheduled. I really enjoyed the managers I met and something they continued to stress was how important it was to have the right "culture fit". I was very upfront about my current job search and my needs. I am a single parent and it is important that I also find the right supportive culture for myself as well. I stressed in the interview that I could not afford to accept a role that would not be at bare minimum 6 months-1 year nor did I really have any interest in accepting a temporary role. They offered me the role the same day and pushed for me to accept it over my other offers. I declined and stressed that I needed stability but was constantly reassured that this would be at least 6 months then perm role. I accepted the offer because it seemed like everything, they shared in the interview was exactly what I was seeking but it was all BS and lines. I started and noticed relatively quickly there was not alot of work for me to do and the work I was doing was extremely junior in comparative to my background and experience. The jobs were extremely easy to fill and the hiring managers I worked with were great and I received a lot of compliments from them fast. After being super bored and unchallenged and noticing things were not picking up I brought up my concerns again to a manager and said I cannot afford to not have a job randomly one day and again was reassured that there would be plenty of work coming and not to worry to be "patient". I was lied to because after I identified the candidates for the roles I had on my desk I received a call on a SUNDAY after only 4 weeks (1 of the weeks was orientation) that they ended my contract. So I left my stable job, turned down 4 other offers to end up unemployed after 4 weeks with zero explanation from anyone at the company. I have a 5 year old and a mortgage with no 2nd income and the company completely lied to my face multiple times and left me in a horrible place. Complete disregard for a person and their life. Leaving me with no way to put dinner on the table for my 5 year old or pay our mortgage. It takes weeks to apply for jobs, interview, and secure a position if you're lucky. Not only did it screw me over it also now looks like I did something wrong to be "fired" after 4 weeks! That is not even a long enough time for someone to have performance issues or to see if someone is a "culture fit". They still have never felt the need to even give me one bit of a reason as to how I went from being told I’m doing everything I should be doing and to just "be patient" to getting let go on a weekend out of nowhere with zero feedback as if you had done something wrong. Do yourself a favor and do not work for these people.
