Pros

Reasonable benefits, when observed by management, and guaranteed retirement benefits.

Cons

Highly politicized work environment, upper-level management without appropriate work experience. The result is that management has virtually no practical experience in the areas they're charged with in supervising lower-level employees. Main mission of DASNY is construction and finance of public/non-profit facilities. When I started working there, any departments not directly doing those activities supported those activities. The entire staff throughout the state was approximately 200 employees. It is now well over 800 employees, even though the total value of construction and finance has decreased. Its mission has become muddled, to say the least.

Pros

-- Strong union representation. Union reps who care about the organization and business and know the importance of the workforce. -- High compensation schedule compared to other NYS agencies. -- Good co-workers make it easier to stay. -- Spots of awesome managers (only if they were higher on the pole). -- Retirement benefits make it hard to bail (only a couple of years left)

Cons

-- Executive management does NOT care in the least about the workforce. -- Every new administration (a lot in the last seven years) makes empty promises and tries to force more work on the employees under the guides of 'progress'. -- For an organization that likes to publically tout progressiveness, there isn't a progressive bone in leadership. Upper management refuses to provide for telecommuting or any meaningful life/balance work schedule. -- VERY few career growth opportunities (unless you are a 'yay-sayer'). -- Morale is the bottom of the barrel.
