Pros

My experience with the State of TN was a positive. In June of 2013 the state downsized the maintenance staff statewide to out side contractor. My position was eliminated. However, I was able to gain knowledge of equipment and systems and set up a Preventative Maintenance program that worked very well.

Cons

The only con is that the RIF cost me my position. Otherwise the State is a good employer.
