Associate Planner/Biologist - Anonymous employee Caltrans Employee Review

You'll learn a lot, good place to start as an ITA..

The pay for state might not be that great.

* most executives and office chief leaderships are supportive and easy to talk to. * great diversity in the workplace, with many people from varying background being represented and promoted. * great work-life balance if you're a specialist.

* some senior branch chiefs end up working on weekends. * not specific to department, but state workers keep getting their raises cut.
