Work with very well meaning people, have a positive mission Great retirement and benefits - more time off than you can use, excellent healthcare

Cons

Work with many 'retired in place' people that can't or won't get the job done Most agencies are underfunded so IT work is grabbing for pennies Politics is real. Many agencies get new leadership every 4 years like clockwork

Pros

Leadership is smart, motivated, thoughtful. It is rewarding to work with outstanding professionals.

Cons

Silos can create frustration with other Agencies. No remote work option.

Pros

Working atmosphere is good if you mind your own business, facility is ok, PARKING IS great!!

Cons

Leadership lacks privacy and is and can be unprofessional with their approach- outdated concepts- its 2016 and they work like they are in 1970!

Pros

Steady and stable positions. As long as you can show up, so do the paychecks. The benefits aren't bad, with plenty of time off and a pension.

Cons

Salaries can't compete with the private sector. Raises barely keep up with inflation. Employees are constantly looking around to see if the grass is greener outside the state. Some work changes based on political leadership changes.
