Pros

Health insurance is good Time off takes a while to build up, caps at 240 hrs annually

Cons

Pay is horrible, been employed 7 years and take home $43,000 annually Management doesn’t care about you, only about meeting goals and deadlines Rules are constantly changing, hard to keep up with and no guidance or actual beneficial training is provided Workload is over whelming, most offices are severely understaffed. Some offices have half the workload and yet are paid the same amount as people who work twice as hard

Pros

Generous Leave(if you can get the time to use it)

Cons

First, the workload, I believe the National and State Offices do not see us anything but robots, plain and simple, they have one goal to work us to death. Ad-hoc programs and new programs with little training. And no recognition from the higher ups when you succeed, but admonishment when you fail. The pay does not match the work, they pay you like it is 1995. The Pass/Fail system which is subjective to potential bias. And you work with the same group over the years and unless you have the right dynamic you wear on each other.
