Great Benefits but Lacks Leadership

Pros

The benefits and pay are competitive. The pension plan is the best I have ever seen. Friendly work environment. Professional and hard-working staff.

Cons

It seems to me that most projects and programs have little guidance and support in terms of vision. The Project Managers are too busy actually doing the work to focus on the staff and developing internally. Little to no upward mobility (outside of pay raise promotions).

Pros

Great benefits. 15% or annual salary contributes by company toward retirement. Focus on improving education nationwide.

Cons

Operates like a small business at times. Programs are a bit disconnected from each other.
