Empire State Development Reviews

NO training, no growth. Turnover high. HR Dept. is inept on so many levels. They post the same job every 6 months. It's who's on first when it comes to HR operations. HR Staff have no skills and are not qualified for there jobs. All patronage. Messaging is all wrong to the public, modern technology is not used, but they seem to want to promote innovative New York when the state gov is not innovative.

I would not recommend working for this organization unless you are a political appointee or are extremely desperate. There is no opportunity for advancement and pay raises are only given out once every 6 years. They do provide a pension but as you get closer to retirement age they try to force you out so that the pension benefit will not be as great. Moreover, employees are treated like slaves on a plantation. On the other hand, political appointees, who are buddies with the governor, get paid big salaries to do nothing all day. A year ago they hired a new CFO who had no background in finance and got paid $173,000 to spend her day networking for her next job which she finally found.
