Pros

I love serving TN and working to make the state an employer of choice. Incredibly organized, cutting edge employment practices, including a performance based employment model (not tenure!) and pay for performance bonuses. This is a place where you can live your job, be developed, and advance!

Cons

Government does have checks and balances and structured processes, which can take some getting used to for those coming from private industry.
