Pros

Offers a pension for retirement which is rare. Pension is based on years worked and age. Possibility to retire with a higher monthly pension versus salary. Flexible-off time and option for 4/10 or 9/80, in addition to telework.

Cons

Typical state government job where the harder you work, the more work you get at the same pay. A lot of workers are retired in place. I had a co-worker making over $100K, who spent most of his time sleeping and playing computer games in an open cubicle. This was well known in the office, and was a joke. He is still working!

Pros

Many opportunities for learning, with colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

Cons

Your experience will depend a lot on context, however, including not only your manager but your job classification and how it fits into the particular agency and office within CalEPA where you are employed. These factors will most influence your promotional and career development possibilities, including opportunities for acting on your knowledge and learning.
