    Great if you Enjoy Getting Bullied

    Pros

    Good way to get career started if you don't have any other options.

    Cons

    Bullying, harassment, extreme overwork, nepotism, and gaslighting are the norm. I thought my experience was bad until I talked to other employees in other departments. HR complaints go missing in some areas, former female coworkers had been violently assaulted by other coworkers and managers, little to no protection against disgruntled members of the public. Some areas aren't bad, others are terrible, and there's no way to tell which you're going to get unless you already know someone who works there. Worst offices while I was there were DHHS, most of project and portfolio offices, treasury, state police and corrections, and the office of retirement services.

    Pros

    Many people and elected leaders across parties truly care about the people of Michigan.

    Cons

    Constant campaign from governor via email and meetings. Employee engagement is terrible, no budget for leaders to do anything (even coffee) for employees because no one wants tax dollars spent this way. I understand that but it's hard to hire top line professionals and not give them a cup of coffee or a donut once a year! Leaders are encouraged to buy food and lunch out of pocket...fine if you have 10 employees, not so easy if you actually have 400 (like me) - even coffee and donuts is nearly $1000!! There are politics between departments the lead to not receiving reasonable items in budget, don't care about the mission to care for the under served.
