Pros

It allowed me to raise a family in a beautiful area of California (redwoods, coast, mountains) with a decent salary and benefits. My work with the public and co-workers is satisfying for the most part. I am just a short way from retirement.

Cons

Some of the middle-management are not so competent. In the last ten years a lot of the environmental regulating agencies and new laws involving eminent domain are making work a lot more difficult and less satisfying. A lot of it is a horrid waste of time and public money.

Pros

* most executives and office chief leaderships are supportive and easy to talk to. * great diversity in the workplace, with many people from varying background being represented and promoted. * great work-life balance if you're a specialist.

Cons

* some senior branch chiefs end up working on weekends. * not specific to department, but state workers keep getting their raises cut.
