Pros

The people and the mission. The Agency does a lot of great work across the Commonwealth and there are truly wonderful people working there who care about the mission and stay because of it.

Cons

Dan Rivera, President & CEO, 1000%. (Marty Jones is not the current CEO). Dan is a bully and a terrible manager who has destroyed the Agency since he arrived. His "obey and grieve" mentality has resulted in large numbers of people heading for the door. He has created positions for political hacks/friends, he's fired people unjustly, he's outsourced two key departments resulting in security breaches to the Agency's network, he's threatened staff in emails, he's misspent Agency funds. He's totally incompetent and can't stand having someone around him who's smarter.

Pros

Colleagues can be good, though they usually do not stick around long enough to build long lasting relationships.

Cons

Wrong people in the wrong seats. Bureaucracy was supposed to be the answer, but the quasi is maligned with lack of experience in qualified seats. Fiduciaries who care about small business and realize it is the backbone of the MA economy would be ashamed to see what this agency has become. No budget for software has left this agency so far behind, candlebox is more relevant.
