Pros

- Good benefits; TLC pays out all your leftover comp and vacation time (for sessionals) which can easily be $2000+ - Most of the people I worked with were friendly and chill - Fairly easy job as long as you can focus on small details - It can be fun to skim the pieces of legislation you’re working on when it’s less busy

Cons

- Somewhat low pay overall - Mandatory 9% of your before-tax paycheck goes to ERS - Tedious, repetitive, drone-like work - Sub-par workspace (literally in a basement with no kitchen or phone signal, and small cubicles)

Pros

Some really hardworking coworkers. Lots to learn about the legislative environment.

Cons

Divisions are extremely siloed, and communication plans and services from different divisional teams seem ridiculously detached from one another for an agency this size. Executive leadership is politically appointed, so strategic planning and succession planning is problematic. Upper level managers earn their role through working harder than anyone else, not by being the best managers or helping other staff develop. The only way to move up (and earn more money) is to wait patiently for someone to retire.
