Positive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at State of Oregon full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
AMAZING benefits: Union Representation, FEMLA, ( after 6 months), PERS (after 6 months), Full medical, vision, dental, long and short term disability.
Cons
Trial Service is a challenge in this department. Whatever you do, don't take time off or you will be released from your trial period. I hear they have lost great people that way. Management is quirky and weird & not a good way, However, the favorites never have anything to worry about.
Advice to Management
Be fair. Listen to your employees. If you need to talk about any employee issues do it privately. I always felt bad hearing my co-workers receiving a scolding out in the open.

Pros
Some managers are willing to give you a flexible schedule if you suck up
Cons
If you are a food worker you get the reward of doing others work. They don’t promote on ability but on who you know. Very toxic work environment. No one is held accountable for the quality of work.

Pros
Steady employment. There's very few ways you can lose your job working for the State. Opportunity to be a servant.
Cons
No merit increases - you're awarded for staying on for another year, not working harder or better. Union over protects - I've witness the Union (SEIU 503) protect people guilty of sexual harassment and workplace violence when in the private sector, they would be fired, let alone poor performance. Comparably low pay - with the exception that you are likely guaranteed to have a job for the rest of your career, something...

Stiff-arm the Union. Fire people for poor work performance. Fire people for violating employment law. Give raises only to people who deserve it, but be generous in doing so.
