Pros

It's government work. The pros are pretty easily identifiable: stability of position and work, low impact low stress, 42.5 hour work week, ability to work from home.

Cons

It's government work. There is little room for movement unless you're willing to change departments. Compensation is solely based on tenure and not performance. And you have to work around people who are rarely motivated to do anything beyond what they are specifically directed to do.

Pros

Good work-life balance, great pay, excellent leadership and great people. TN State Government invests in employee development much more than any other company I have worked for.

Cons

Sometimes things move slowly due to red-tape.
