Pros
The best thing about working for the Texas Workforce Commission is that work stops when you walk out the door - period. The agency discourages overtime because it doesn't want to pay it. Overall, its a terrible place to work. However, if you just want to go to work and then come home, if you don't care about the job and just want to be paid, and if you are good at making friends with 'the right people', then this may be the job for you.
Cons
The leadership at the Texas Workforce Commission is poor. It felt like it was a very political agency because the people at the top seemed most concerned with maintaining that status quo. It is a reactionary organization that does little to anticipate problems and head them off before the damage is done. There is little encouragement of innovation and no incentive for process improvement. This doesn't just come from the top either and it seems to be part of the agency's culture. In one department, I had tweaked a process and improved efficiency. A co-worker asked me to stop because she was worried that they would cut staff if we improved our efficiency too much. Interagency communication could be much improved. Each division of the agency is its own bureaucratic fiefdom. However, the programs that the agency runs are handled by more than one division, and they sometimes get in each others way rather than work together.
