Pros

There are plenty of opportunities with TxDOT. They will be turning over a large amount of staff within the next four years due to retirements. In Austin, Tx., there will be a consolidation of campuses to one campus. It will be located off of East Stassney Lane. This will cause people to retire as well.

Cons

Once you're slotted within a pay group, you are stuck for life. Unless you get another degree or already have a second degree, the pay-scale is set. Merits are hard to get and are not keeping up with inflation.

Pros

Good health insurance, vacation and sick leave! No mandatory overtime

Cons

Hired remote before Covid and this agency ended all telework even though other state agencies kept it! Doing the work of 3 people but pay for 1 …building outdated (except for HQ in Austin), lack of modern software but PeopleSoft gets the job done, High mandatory pension deductions right at 9.5% big hit to paycheck! Getting paid once a month big adjustment. Ending telework really limits their talent pool around the state of Texas now must live in Austin if you want access to the majority of good jobs.
