Pros

benefits are what brings you into the capitol. If you have a family, just the benefits alone takes a major burden off a family budget. You also get a lot of perks and fun little activities throughout the year either from capitol sponsored events or industry events that come to the capitol.

Cons

Unless you are Chief of Staff or consultants your actual paycheck is horrible, but the benefits more than make up for it. Everyone who works in the bldg thinks they are big fish in a VERY small pond! If you peaked in high school and want that same mean girl/all star jock cliques from that time period, then the Capitol is perfect for you.

Pros

Good health care and dental benefits. Great job security. Work culture is dependent on which office/ team you’re in.

Cons

Hard to obtain raises and title changes. Not great growth trajectory, at least in the short term. Lots of work after 5 pm and on the weekends.
