      Pros

      You get weekends off, holidays off. Most shifts are from 8-5 but you are able to work 4 10 hour shifts if permitted by office.

      Cons

      They take out way too much tax from paychecks.

      I worked at State of Nevada full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      State government jobs offer decent pay compared to most hourly jobs in Carson City. The retirement and health benefits are not what they used to be, but still better than a lot of places.

      Cons

      No easy career ladders to build on given how the hiring process works. Mentoring is hard to do when you supervise others because of this.

      Advice to Management

      None

      I worked at State of Nevada full-time

      Pros

      There was a lot of overtime offered

      Cons

      The supervisors were not helpful to new employees, they expected you to know everything with very little training.

      The pay is awful for what you have to deal with and the type of situations you are put in.

      You have to work weekends, most likely will never get them off.

      After a few months you will switch shifts (Day, Swing, Graveyard)

      You do not get any breaks for lunch

      Advice to Management

      Provide more training for new employees, explain everything in detail (why you do things a certain way). Its hard being thrown in that job without a complete understanding of the job at hand.
