Pros

seven hour workday no drug test

Cons

Micromanagement and fear of making business decisions are the most challenging aspects of working here. Most situations are set up to make the employee fail and pplicies often make things ineffective. If you are an intelligent person who likes to find ways to get things done outside of normal thinking, this is no the place for you. Often asked to work through lunch or not take lunch at all. Asked to ignore applicants while senior management backpedals on issues with ineffective programs. In some instances asked to lie to applicants.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, multiple offices to choose from, higher pay than most state agencies

Cons

Many Exec, VP & up haven’t earned their positions and don’t have the experience to do even basic job functions on the company systems. Unfair hiring and promotion practices open only to those with connections. There is a class system here where the rules do not apply to everyone equally. Zero job related orientation or training. Managers like to see you fend for yourself and fail and then turn their lack of support into an opportunity to make themselves look like the hero for being the one to identify an issue or swoop in as the fixer. Working for this organization will negatively impact your mental health.
