Pros

Caltrans is such a huge department with offices in locations throughout the station and various definitions. Lots of mobility to jump around if you don't like your current position/location while still maintaining benefits. Great place to learn a little bit of everything.

Cons

Not a very good place if you really want to delve into a particular topic and get the ball moving. very beaurcratic.

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
