RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at State of Nevada full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Strong benefits, lots of training opportunities. After 1 year probationary period, many opportunities for growth and lateral movement.
Cons
Government pay scales are lower than private industry; education and experience not fully considered when placement on pay scale is determined.
Advice to Management
When recruiting and hiring from private industry, consider experience and education of new hires when deciding placement on the "range" of salaries for the positions.
