      Pros

      Great benefits and coworkers. Once you're a permanent employee past your trial period, it's very difficult to get fired.

      Cons

      There's a revolving door of incompetent managers who make everyone's lives hell. (In my last year there, I had 5 different managers.) The management rot is deep at OED. Management distrusts all employees and micromanages to an extreme. No consideration for quality of work, just quantity. Incompetence and shortcuts are rewarded. Their technology is about 25 years behind the times, meaning most processes are done manually. Pay is poor for the work required.

      Not for Everyone

      Pros

      Good benefits. A permanent employee is almost never fired, no matter how incompetent. Opportunities to join other agencies, shared employee pool. Union represented. Some opportunities to advance

      Cons

      Pay is behind the times, some employees qualify for public assistance. Technology is prehistoric. Age diversity is a problem - overall state workers are older, peer groups for 20 and 30 something's is non-existent. Time in grade/seniority are heavily weighted in hiring decisions. Rampant cronyism. Employees get to be the public face of whatever scandal the higher-ups have gotten themselves into: Cover Oregon, Data Breaches, Governor's Ethnics Violations/Resignation, misappropriation of funds etc. During contract negotiation time (currently every 2 years) - open enmity between represented and non-represented. Education and private sector experience is a wild card - could actually hold you back. Office drama varies by location.

      Treats Limited Duration Employees as Disposable (Trash)

      Pros

      My direct manager is great but I can’t say the same about upper mgmt and their hyper focus on metrics, lack of care towards frontline employees, and condescending attitude towards frontline employees asking for help and more training.

      Cons

      The micromanagement and the demeaning nature of managerial transactions towards people working the phones and claims wears on you. Very stressful work. All you want to do is sleep when you’re not working.
