Pros

Work culture, purpose and mission of the agency, very friendly and intelligent coworkers. Management is empowering and cares about the coworkers. I've always had great experience with my supervisors. I always felt comfortable about asking for more challenges or different type of work that I am interested in.

Cons

Difficult to move around in the agency. Whether it be upward development, or a lateral move into a different field. There are yearly bonuses but other than that, there doesn't seem to be any opportunities for a pay raises due to performance, incentive etc. I still gave 5 stars because I always valued the experience more than the compensation

Benefits, pay, location. Genuinely friendly people.

Cons

It's still bound by some state government rules as an employer, but not a huge deal with the other benefits of this employer

Pros

Depends on position. Pro was limited customer contact

Cons

Poor management, inconsistent directives, you are pretty much treated poorly. Never been treated so poorly in my entire 35+ years working. Do not promote from within. Work system is a nightmare. If you don't work for investments, you don't matter.
