Pros

Great benefits. Flexible hours. Good people to work with. Steady and reliable work.

Cons

Compensation not up to par with private sector for non-engineer employees. Seems like every process is overly bureaucratic. As with all state jobs... structure is very outdated.

Pros

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Cons

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.
