Pros

Free parking and nothing else!

Cons

Everything else... I was there a few weeks before trainers had me in managers office for gross infractions such as not asking questions, eyes not always open during 8 hours of training, and dare I make a joke which we all did in class when I was called on once because I was nervous. Yet other non black people can interrupt class, have their heads down with blankets, etc. It became apparent I offended the trainers just breathing! No one else but me was pulled out of class to see a manager I shouldn't even see until I'm actually on the phones! I was quiet,paid attention and was rewarded with being singled out and bad reports to management! The manager then began a bizarre campaign of micro management .Said he was going to sit in on trainings all for someone who was always attentive except 1 percent when during 8 hours naturally I may day dream who dosent for a few minutes. The other people I guess it wasn't a problem just me the big non white gal! I'm an adult and made an executive decision to leave weeks in because it became a bully unprofessional culture not a good first impression for a new person. First job I left after a few weeks! Everyone talks behind your back and no one except the top brass are professional! I thought it was a state job but they just work for the state so I hope applying for real state jobs they are more professional!

Pros

Good salary and benefits great mission

Cons

Such a toxic workplace ex dir Carraher is a bully micromanager w a huge ego and lots of insecurity. She doesn’t listen to her staff who often know more than she does. Staff are miserable there and nearly the entire senior management team has left in 3 years because of Carraher.

Pros

Benefits are great but pay is below average.

Cons

Culture promotes favoritism, inhibits learning and does not seek the best technology that will improve quality. This leads to waste and increasingly relying on IT consultants. When new technology is brought in, company does not invest in quality training. Work from home is discouraged and is limited to one day a week.
