Pros

Really can't think of anything. Average pay, average benefits, average everything. They say they have a gym on site, but there are other state agencies within 2 blocks that offer cheaper access and even have fresh towel service.

Cons

Micro managers thrive in this place, some even go to the extent of keeping track of how many bathroom breaks employees take, and write people up for the silliest of all reasons. It is no wonder that they have not been investigated or sued yet. Diversity is hardly a priority for them, in IT and in Investments there are very, very few opportunities for growth. Favoritism is so rampant that even when they open a new job to fill a position by doing a "national search", they end up promoting someone from inside the company whose qualifications and experience are questionable. If you question authority, you will be on the receiving end. You hit the ceiling within 1-3 years and by that time you either get used to the routine or leave. I would not recommend this place to anyone, whether it is a new college graduate, a mid-level manager, or a Sr. employee.
