Pros

Decent pay with flexible hours. Vacation, Sick Leave, and training.

Cons

Management is very poor and no experience in their title. Extreme favoritism for promotions no matter how hard you work and your yearly evaluation. Nepotism is rampant with generations of family and friends. Decisions are made fast without thinking, extremely reactive and not proactive. If you are thinking about starting a career here I would look into a State job with better retirement incentives. There is extreme waist of government money, for example I see thousands of dollars of equipment never used and then trashed. I only work in one department so this is millions of dollars waisted nation wide.
