Pros

Many opportunities to be trained in new skills. Decent benefits. Great atmosphere.

Cons

Well below average pay for a CDL-A truck driver as well as heavy equipment operator. Additionally, the job is hazardous - you're repairing roadways and bridges as vehicles fly by at highway speeds. Some on their phones.

Pros

Good health insurance, vacation and sick leave! No mandatory overtime

Cons

Hired remote before Covid and this agency ended all telework even though other state agencies kept it! Doing the work of 3 people but pay for 1 …building outdated (except for HQ in Austin), lack of modern software but PeopleSoft gets the job done, High mandatory pension deductions right at 9.5% big hit to paycheck! Getting paid once a month big adjustment. Ending telework really limits their talent pool around the state of Texas now must live in Austin if you want access to the majority of good jobs.
