Pros

Great benefits A number of paid holidays. Very good vacation/sick leave compensation.

Cons

Your experience can vary greatly depending on what group you are with and who your manager is, verbal threats, blatant lies, misleading information Heavy favoritism is prevalent throughout the organization. Lack of integrity and ethics. Good old boy system is deeply embedded within this organization. I t does not matter how good you are at your job you're not going to get a raise unless you're a member of the clique. If you're okay with somebody else taking credit for your work and your accomplishments, then this is the place for you. Issues discussed in confidence with HR tend to leak back to the wrong people. It's a hostile work environment for outsiders, you'll find out that unless member of these cliques that you're not welcome in this organization. Its a conniving work place where people get what they want and justify any and everything to that end.

Pros

Low pressure, decent training courses offered, good exposure, you can choose what you want to work on, they try to prepare you well to become a PE. 8 hours of vacation a month, lots of holidays.

Cons

Sometimes it can be very, very slow placed - which can make you bored and less motivated. Salary is pretty low, and raises are not easy to come by. They are getting better, but they still have ways to go. Also, there are a good amount of typical disgruntled, bitter state workers. They often asked me why i worked so hard, which was quite discouraging.
