      Pros

      I was hired as a civil engineering student assistant, basically an intern. Everyone was willing to help out when I did not fully know how to complete certain tasks. My supervisors taught me a lot and when there was downtime, they would help me network and figure out my future career plans.

      Cons

      Can be slow at times, it's busiest when there are a lot of projects but with the economy there weren't too many when I started out.

      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.
