Nevada Department of Transportation Reviews

Pros

Great people and tremendous opportunities are available if you want to learn and grow your career

Cons

As with any state agency, there are compensation limitations but good benefits.

Pros

Work life balance, flexable schedule

Cons

Agency too big to be effencient

Pros

lots of vacation time and sick leave, paid holidays, relatively cheap medical insurance, great work schedule

Cons

low base pay, poor management on some crews, high turn over leads to increased work load on the people that do stay, high cost of pension which is currently 15% of each paycheck.

Pros

Winter stops highway construction, making down time plentiful while on set hourly schedule regardless.

Cons

During the summer, 20-30 hours overtime is not out of the ordinary for a miserable $15/hr starting wage. Change shirts to the contractor working right next to you, and they start at $30-45+ for the same or less work.

Pros

Flexibility of schedule, State of Nevada discounts, State Employee Assistance Program, Degree Program, Training, internal movement and promotions, working with team that has a passion for what they do.

Cons

Wages aren't competitive with other states or private sector, State benefits aren't as good as previous years, red-tape like most government agencies,

Pros

Cons

the salaries are not comparable to private sectors.

Pros

Lots of time off and sick leave

Cons

Not enough equipment time, and too much sitting g around, driving around, with nothing to do

Pros

Ensuring roadways are maintained for the safety of the travelling public

Cons

Wages, benefits, communication, lack of proper training

Pros

I had the best boss, the best environment, and the best co-workers.

Cons

At the time...masks, testing, and insane protocols.

Pros

Was a nice place to work but the manager of your department will set the tone heavily.

Cons

It's government and if you can do something better than others, you will get beat down.
