    The State is Great

    Jan 10, 2023 - Unemployment Insurance Examiner in Macomb, MI
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Overall great to work for. UIA is often very busy with Covid related claims so they do force overtime (10 extra hours per week). They do a quarterly raise about twice a year, which quickly catapults your salary.

    Cons

    Forced overtime. You have to request 5+ days off during request period. If you fail to do so, you have to configure your time off to not have 5 days consecutively off (not a whole week)
