More than typical bureaucracy. - Anonymous employee New Mexico Environment Department Employee Review

Great coworkers, great place to work

No work from home options anymore

Stable Government Job, 40 hours is 40 hours

The pay bands they advertise are not what you will be paid, They advertise market rate placement but they have an internal alignment policy that keeps anyone from making more than someone whos been there longer. So there are whole job pay bands where the most experienced person is making less than the mid point. So you could have 30 years of experience and you wont get paid anywhere near the top. They also have a process for performance based pay increases but the Agency and SPO have never approved one so managers don't even ask anymore. It is an extreme dead end for advancement and pay increases. Losing to inflation over time as well as the COLAs are too small. Great place to get an agency on the resume and coast for a bit but not a good employer and not employee friendly. Worst benefits i have had working in the sciences as well. A massive portion of people leave before their probation year is up because it becomes clear what a dead end it as as you get to the end of that year.
