Pros

Co workers, flexible schedule, time off. Everyone works as a team.

Cons

Longevity for new employees has been eliminated. Employees now are REQUIRED to pay 4% a pay check into their pensions (even though they don't get pension until 5 years of service), and you can no longer take your insurance with you if you retire. All the pros of working for the state are GONE.
