It's like most state type jobs, you have pretty good benefits and fairly stable job.  A lot of times movement up can be restrictive unless you move to a different job or someone retires, but as long as you do your job you will get steps in your pay each year.  Mostly a positive experience.  Our shop has an hour every Friday that we have popcorn together and socialize to encourage people to get to know people outside of work situations.  The job can be hectic at times, but mostly little stress overall.  

As a contract worker that only works towards one certain group of tasks, and upon completion is finished, it is a lovely place to work. I love being able to flex my skills and use my degree towards something that I know will help other people, such as reading through grants for schools in order for them to receive funding for their more impoverished students. It is good, honest work, and I would definitely do it all over again next year when the opportunity arises!

The atmosphere at work is very relaxed as long as you are efficiently doing your job. Everyone that works within the department is very willing to step in and help as well as direct others for assistance. The hardest part of the job is that it is a state job and everyone is directed to contact the state for issues that come up, so the phone can be very busy. The most enjoyable part of the job is the people you work with and create a relationship with.

A little micromanaged which is hard for most people. It was an accounting position so everything had to balance, be accounted for, and pass a variety of audits. Micromanaging is somewhat understandable.

We had lunches, celebrations, or somebody just brought in a cake almost monthly. Good people to work with.

My boss is very sweet. The other employees are very friendly and helpful people. They will help you, lead you, and guide you. They take out time with you to make sure you understand the procedures.

Love working for the state but because of federal and state funding and sometime politics the job security is not always there.  Best people in the world to work for.

Great school system depending on who your administrators are at the time. If you are flexible and patient, you will eventually get administrators that will make your work environment pleasant and productive.

It has been a good career but retirement is in sight. There are a lot of great people working at the department but it is highly competitive. I will miss many folks there.

I loved working at the state.  It was like a family to me.  I learned lots, made lots of friends across the state and considered my coworkers family.   The benefits are awesome.

loving working her just hate the fact I'm so far from family. Love my coworkers and supervisors they are such great people.
