Pros

Some of the industry's best and brightest are attracted to DGF. I have known a lot of great people to put their hearts into their jobs, are extremely devoted and passionate about their roles at DGF. This is truly remarkable. The corporate values, strategy and pillars of growth, GoGreen, GoHelp, GoTeach, are all sound great and are easy to get behind.

Cons

Especially in the US, the company is talking a lot about management being "transformational"; unfortunately, it is more "transactional", doing what it takes just to get by. There are a lot of managers in the deeply entrenched hierarchy at DGF, and many do not have enough time to manage people, teams and situations well, partly because they are tasked to manage projects, initiatives, and processes as priority. DGF is spread very thin, from years of reorganizations, reductions and cost saving measures. It is sad to see good talent become disengaged, and more vocal about feelings of distrust, anxiety and fear.

Pros

Not a single one comes to mind

Cons

I don't think there is enough words for how absolutely horrid the management is in Detroit. They do not care about you as a person. They smile in your face then break your morale, the very little we have left. They tell you to come to them when you need help or with any questions then make you feel like a burden for asking them a question. Literally, verbally exasperated when replying or they will belittle you for not knowing something. They drone on and on about being a team then destroy the morale. They also love to tell you how "transparent" they are then conveniently forget to inform you of changes that affect your life and schedule.
