Business Outlook
Pros
regular, reliable paycheck some flexibility with schedule ability to earn some compensatory time pension, although it is not as good as it used to be- full pension is now 35 years of service or age 67
Cons
Most salaries are no longer competitive with the private sector or the federal govt. Many poorly trained managers and supervisors who don't know how to communicate with employees or how to resolve issues; employees are treated like children Depending upon the department, the workload can be very unreasonable It helps to be related to the right people or politically connected. Practices in many fields are not leading-edge and have fallen behind benchmark employers. If you stay your skills will atrophy.
