I have been working at Texas Department of State Health Services full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Benefits paid by state for employee is a plus.
Cons
No advancement opportunity or pay increases.
Training is a joke, what you learn in training is not what you encounter afterwards.
Dont miss work, get sick or be late for 6 months while training. It is frowned upon big time.
You are reminded daily that you can be replaced.
You are expected to work a certain amount of cases in a certain time frame each and every day, and if you dont meet that you are reminded again you can be replaced,
Staff is expected to work alot of mandatory overtime as straight pay.
They take a percentage of money out before you are paid for retirement that is mandatory.
Pay is low, but just above not being able to get assistance yourself.
You are paid monthly, and taxed monthly. Expect @ 1700 a month take home to start in most cases.
Advice to Management
Better pay, management that is not so rude and belittling to employees. More flexibility when new employees start and less attitude from supervisors and mentors.
