Pros

The job is rewarding; its what work is and what work should be. There is a manual for everything. Do the job you are paid to do and you will do well.

Cons

They are a Government entity and while the private enterprise gets new computers and software at Caltrans it takes a long time to get new computers and new software. The private sector is ahead of Caltrans employees in this area.
