Pros
Flexible schedule, paid time off is adequate after 10 years of service. Health insurance is good while working, but changes.
Cons
After 30 yrs of service, the health insurance cost is full premium ($700/month). Since the Governor changed the retirement plan and now has 3% taken out of salary to pay towards pension, the salaries decreased and so did the pensions. Also, before Governor Scott, there were "cost of living increases" (increase in salary) from time to time. I've never received a raise until 2016 (17 years working). After 30 years of service, my pension will be $2000 a month, but the health insurance will cost $700 a month. If I would have known this would have changed when I had worked for 12 years, I would never have committed to this career in my 20s.
