-- Strong union representation. Union reps who care about the organization and business and know the importance of the workforce.
-- High compensation schedule compared to other NYS agencies.
-- Good co-workers make it easier to stay.
-- Spots of awesome managers (only if they were higher on the pole).
-- Retirement benefits make it hard to bail (only a couple of years left)
Svantaggi
-- Executive management does NOT care in the least about the workforce.
-- Every new administration (a lot in the last seven years) makes empty promises and tries to force more work on the employees under the guides of 'progress'.
-- For an organization that likes to publically tout progressiveness, there isn't a progressive bone in leadership. Upper management refuses to provide for telecommuting or any meaningful life/balance work schedule.
-- VERY few career growth opportunities (unless you are a 'yay-sayer').
-- Morale is the bottom of the barrel.
