Pros
I started at TxDOT, went to the private sector, and then came back to TxDOT. After having both private and public sector experiences, I can confidently say that TXDOT is the best place for an E.I.T. to learn everything in a better learning environment and at a faster pace without feeling pigeon-holed. Take advantage of the rotation program- they usually start you in roadway design, then traffic, and finally construction management. You are also not obligated to work over 40 hours and never have to work weekends. Work-life balance is exceptional here.
Cons
Pay could obviously be better but then again, the civil engineering industry comes with a low standard of pay than other engineering industries (government contracts, etc).
