Great team and culture, however with the Medicaid expansion, we have lost a lot of work and they foresee layoffs.

Pros

amazing benefits, paid holidays, vacation and sick time paid, 401k, retirement pension, banking hours

Cons

politics and the 'good ole boys club' when working for an elected official, no matter how ridiculous the 'goal' is, to keep your job, it is really all about the vote. If you keep him/her out of the spotlight (because the incumbent has a higher rate of reelection) then you will not have issues. to move up in Management someone has to either die or retire. very narrow hierarchy
