State of Arizona Employee Review

Pros – Benefit packages are good and offer a variety of options. Premiums are good compared to private industry. Before the economy tanked, it was nearly impossible to lose your job.

Cons – Management is often appointed based on political favors, and may not know a thing about the agency he/she is put in charge of. There is little transparency. Because of the economy and a ridiculously right-wing, bible-thumping legislature, jobs are left at the whims of others.

Advice to Senior Management – Put leaders in place that have training, proven competency in their field, and a plan and vision. Discourage micromanaging.
