Pros

The best things about working for the State of Tennessee are the benefits and the hours. In my department, the Comproller of the Treasury, the people were also a big plus.

Cons

The biggest cons is the base compensation (you have to count benefits too) and the respect you get from people outside of the state. People always look down on state employees.
