Business outlook
Pros
It is some form of employment
Cons
-More privatization is being done, so no job is secure -Starting pay is so-so at best; you'll probably do better or as well in private industry -No pay raise for 5 years, and when it's raised 1% on 7/1/13, employee's ASRS (pension) percentage increases too, so will be lucky to see half of the 1% raise -ASRS takes over 11% of gross paycheck, so you are paying heavily into the pension plan -Despite sending managers to management courses, which should have been done BEFORE they were promoted to those positions, bad habits die hard and managers are as poor as ever.
