helps a lot with all that needs to be done around

Cons

never helps with all the things that need to be done around

Good state benefit package and vacation

Cons

Clicklish leadership and they rarely promote from the inside. They promote from the outside of DBHDD.

Pros

I liked the people I worked with and I liked my job.

Cons

If you're in a position and get promoted to a new position, the most you are allowed to receive in compensation is a 5-10 percent raise. There are soooo many people that have been with the state for 10, 15, 20 years or more and a new person will get hired doing the same exact job making $10,000 more per year than you are after being there for so many years! Screwed up system! Can't get ahead and they don't give you a raise on merit, EVERYBODY gets the same 1 percent or 2 percent raise each year...IF they decide to give a raise that year. Don't do it - not worth it in the long run!
