Low pay and can be some culture issues

Unfortunately, the leadership team creates an overwhelmingly toxic environment. Discriminatory behaviors are prevalent, and rather than addressing these issues, they are perpetuated and protected by those in power. HR, executives, and other leadership members seem more focused on preserving the agency’s image—likely to avoid tarnishing the State Treasurer’s reputation—than on fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. This culture of denial and complicity leaves employees feeling unsupported and powerless to address systemic issues. It also undermines the morale and effectiveness of the agency as a whole. The disparity between the kindness of the staff and the dysfunction of the leadership is stark and disheartening. If you value working with compassionate colleagues, this might be an okay place to start—but be prepared to navigate significant challenges stemming from leadership’s behavior and priorities.
