Pros

Very supportive community. Generally a good environment to work where a strong work ethic is valued. You don't need to "be seen" putting in long hours in the office per se. Instead it is more important that you produce high quality work in a timely fashion. This allows for a certain degree of flexibility that allows one to benefit from their own self discipline.

Cons

Must stay self motivated as there isn't someone there to pay you on your back after every big achievement. Also, money comes and goes with the state budget. Some years can be tight and some plentiful.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
