Pros

Many good coworkers. Some areas offer telecommuting. Has offices in every county. Generally one of the better-paying state agencies in TX.

Cons

Agency uses forced-ranking system (for performance appraisal). Favorites get highest ranking, regardless of utility to the organization, or individual productivity. Many useless workers get away with doing almost no work. Abysmal management, most of which are political appointees hired to not let laws or ethics get in the way of accelerating and pushing road projects through. The two running the division I was in are skirt-chasers who show favoritism in pay and promotion for young, relatively attractive females.

Pros

The work was steady and there was opportunity to travel throughout the state and meet other offices. Coworkers were easy to get along with and willing to help out.

Cons

There weren't many cons. The work was steady, the location was great, supervisors were easy to work for. I only wish I had stayed longer.
