Pros

A paycheck during the pandemic. Feeling like maybe, just maybe, I helped someone.

Cons

If you applied to be a contact tracer, that's what you became. If you applied to be a supervisor, even if you had lower qualifications than a contact tracer, that's what you became. They hired people who couldn't spell, think critically, or function to be supervisors. There was little quality control, and a revolting amount of terrible work product and squandered public funds. I'm embarrassed to have been part of this fiasco.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
