One of the worst jobs I’ve ever had - Workstation Support Tennessee State Government Employee Review

Pros

Workstation management doesn’t care what you do as long as they don’t have to hear about it. Lots of paid time off.

Cons

They do not pay enough for you to afford rent if you live in Nashville. Benefits are on par with any large private sector employer (sometimes private sector is better) but pay is far, far below private sector pay. They dangled a “pay reclassification” in front of us for two years, but only the supervisors got reclassified. Do not expect to ever be allowed to take any classes in the IT Academy, that is another thing that will be dangled in front of you, but you will never be given time to do it. Total lack of direction from leadership. Constant confusion, miscommunication, or lack of communication from management.
