Everyone is friendly and wants to help you learn when you're new. Friendly culture in the building. You will do well here if you are self-motivated
Cons
Many government employees are comfortable in their positions and don't produce much work during their time on the clock. Bosses turn a blind eye.

Negative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Pros
None.... maybe the cool pond in the back of the property and the pretty horses
Cons
The Connor building is old and full of mold and asbestos. Upper management is pretentious and does not like anyone speaking to them without going through “proper chain of command”..... almost comes off as a power thing..... administrators gossip about others and complain all the time. The staff department wide is grossly underpaid versus those same positions at other state departments. And last but not least, the parking is HORRIFIC!!!
