No power to create or strengthen good teams
Jun 25, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Almost none You get a state car sometimes when you have to travel.
Cons
Salary. so no overtime. Working in an ugly government office. Union employees, so you have no real power to hire or promote good people, or punish or fire bad ones. Layers of Bureaucracy, everything has to go through some other office whether it be repairs, getting new equipment, or changing janitorial staff. No ability to make it a better work environment, can’t pay people more, can’t get funding for parties or morale improvements in the office. Not even a gift card for free coffee.
