Pros

Great vacation and sick leave. A lot of opportunities to learn and network with other state and local entities. Opportunity to help better the state.

Cons

Very low pay and virtually complete lack of mobility. Frequent binding red tape and debilitating bureaucracy can be burdensome and frustrating.

Pros

MDA is a great starting ground. You'll make statewide connections that will get you to your next step. Great state benefits and PTO

Cons

Pay is terrible and there are no bonuses/incentives. Leadership can be lacking, but there are some talented people in key roles.

Pros

Benefits and staff in select offices such as Energy, Minority, Visit Mississippi, and International Trade

Cons

Antiquated work processes with an excessive amount of wasted paper. Entities are still submitting reimbursements with flash drives. Supervisors are shady and don’t take accountability in the Business Incentives department. Supervisor SW has acted as if she has given you paperwork when Amendments are being signed at a date later than others when quarterly reports are in the submission process and acts as if you were the one who has not contacted the entity when she was not forthcoming or direct about last minute additions. Said Supervisor does not willingly provide contact information when she is first in direct contact with all entities. Also witnessed prejudice based on several factors including sex. No holiday parties or anything or that nature. It’s all about the work always.
