Pros

They offer a State Pension Plan

Cons

They are at least a decade behind in technology They have outsourced infrastructure management to 3rd parties. The contract is sooo bad, these 3rd parties keep selling it off. SLAs from them are ridiculously slow.

Pros

Opportunity to serve our community. I enjoyed working with the public and being a Public Servant and this position provided me with that. State Employment provides great benefits, good pay and the opportunity to gain more work experience. The only reason I had to resign was because my Mother has Dementia and I am her Caregiver. I am only able to work part-time.

Cons

One downside to working with the Texas Workforce was that not all employees are employed by the State. The majority of the employees are employed by a privatized contractor. Eventually, they will no longer have State Employees.

Pros

Lots of hard working, good people work here.

Cons

You will not get a raise. You are lucky if you get a promotion. Jobs are created overnight for people with connections and vacancies are given to friends or people who know someone at the Capitol. No connections = no future.
