Pros

When I first started working here it was great because the economy was bad and EDD got flooded with money. This made overtime readily available and for the most part everyone wanted to work here . The work is challenging and the rank and file are nice people for the most part.

Cons

Most of management is reactive and not responsive. Towards the end of my tenure here most people gave up because the stock in moral dropped. This was caused by multiple things not just one issue. Cumulatively EDD has promoted a culture where issues are swept under the rug and not delt with until they have a structural defect. I really liked working here when I started however over the years my content with working here as dwindled and most of the good staff have voted with their feet and left.
