      Pros

      If you love learning and working on everything with an engine, including street sweepers, dump trucks, diesel, propane, trailers, snow removal, and everything else, this is the place to be. Good people to work for, decent pay for a government job, and lots of opportunities to advance up the ladder.

      Cons

      Paperwork. So much paperwork. Some cowokers are there for the ride and take their time on work to the point they might as well walk backwards. Periods of time where it's "rush rush rush" to get a job finished only for it to sit in the parking lot tied up by red tape. It's a government state job, be warned.
