Pros

Friendly staff, clear expectations, and a passionate workforce are hallmarks of the office.

not exactly a fun workplace, but one where everyone gets along. Its a state agency, so culture is a firmly rooted on the traditional corporate environment. That being said, opportunities for advancement are very real. Tennessee is an improving and dynamic government.
