Benefits are acceptable but not the best - Clerical Virginia Retirement System Employee Review

Pros

Government job. Getting hired and promoted is based on who you know and not what you know.

Cons

No way to get raises unless authorized by governor. Governor will occasionally allow 2-3 percent bonus and every 7-10 year a 2 percent raise.

Pros

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.
