Pros

Good health benefits and good pension plan. Stable work environment. Plenty of vacation and sick leave. Some really dedicated staffers who work long hours with less than average pay.

Cons

Promotional opportunities are rare and in class raises are rarer. There are too many people who give state employees a bad name.
