Pros

Decent pay for the State. Good vacation time.

Cons

Bad management from senior management down. Hierarchical structure. Promote people because they did a "good job" not because they are leaders. "Outsiders" aren't welcome. Unable to transform because so set in ways dating back to the 80s. Too many people fixated on their own length of tenure vs the health of the company. Best people leave after 2 years. CEO who has zero exec presence.

Pros

Nice benefits, Stable job. Management is mostly hands-off, allowing you to do your work and let the results speak for themselves.

Cons

Too much middle management. Return to work requires in office 4 days a week. Should have better system for converting purchased service employees to Ford direct employees.
