Pros

Good amount of leave time. Management is very willing to help young engineers learn the trade. Everyone is friendly and easy going. Most days start at 8 AM and are done by 5 PM

Cons

The pay could be better. I do not have much else to say about cons, but I have to reach a word limit.

Job agency does is admirable. Some supervisors are unscrupulous schemers, liars and thieves.

Pros

Does excellent work for Texas and its citizens

Cons

Agency supports supervisors even in the face of evidence of lying, discrimination and of other wrongdoing. Appeals are useless since the whole process is for labeling the agency correct in its actions.
