Pros

Your position will be stable once you pass your probation.

Cons

- Untrained management - Hierarchy culture - Promotions are mostly dependent on your duration at Caltrans, connection versus qualifications - Depends on your department, but this one management pushes responsibilities onto you and relies on your “position of statement” to make you do it - Lost of gossip, petty things, and favoritism

Pros

* most executives and office chief leaderships are supportive and easy to talk to. * great diversity in the workplace, with many people from varying background being represented and promoted. * great work-life balance if you're a specialist.

Cons

* some senior branch chiefs end up working on weekends. * not specific to department, but state workers keep getting their raises cut.
