Pros

There is plenty of job security, because it's near impossible to get fired - even if you're incompetent. They're also big on ethnic and racial diversity, so if you're into that, then you'll like it.

Cons

There's a lot of office politics, confusion, finger-pointing, and discrimination at Caltrans. When something goes wrong, they look for someone to blame instead of fixing the problem. They don't reward harder working employees, nor do they terminate lazy and irresponsible employees. Rather, they just shuffle people around and make them someone else's problem.

Pros

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Cons

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
