Pros

Full Benefits. Medical, Vision, Dental, all have low employee contributions. Overworked, little support. Lots of do nothing state employees at every level.

Cons

Human Resources is the worst. Antiquated policies. No Transparency. Lowball salary offers. No mechanism for advancement in salary, or in career. Most get hired at one job and stay there for 20 years. Implementation of Salary steps may alleviate, but expect HR and CA State to screw this up.

Pros

If you are a full-time student, work at U-SU (University-Student Union), they provide great benefits to help you grow in leadership. You can work whenever before or after classes. Managers are flexible and open anytime. Good pay = $17.25/hour.

Cons

Make sure you find growth opportunities in the job you're looking for.
