      Pros

      Holidays off, good people, most want to do a good job.

      Cons

      culture is terrible, typical "state employee" mindset. Leaders are not good managers of people and have little interest in changing. Lots of "friends" get promoted over qualified talent.

      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.
