Virtually endless opportunities to develop GIS products and applications for the department. The department is growing its use and reliance of GIS and good data management practices. Job security.

Cons

Lacking well articulated support system for GIS type personnel on the admin and resource management side. . Positions few and far between. Overload of projects and support requests.

Pros

* 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.

Cons

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