Pros
long term benefits after retirement
Cons
toxic work environment and physically toxic work environment in a basement office
toxic boss and his favorites, poor management in geotechnical group
use what you said to point out to you later
use your work products to flatter the higher level people, while behind the scene criticize, blame, gaslight, and control you
hold onto a few errors you made, while ignore all the other achievements
not to resolve a thing or a problem, but to resolve a person, finally led to my quit from Caltrans
other elements from a toxic work environment
