I worked in the judicial branch. And it's full of back stabbers and cheats and liars. They say you have to live in the state of Ma. To work for them but that's not the case if you grease the right hands. Everyone is out to protect them selves there is no one willing to take blame If something goes wrong. Just pay attention to the nightly news reports. – more... Improperly trained personnel.
What I learned was always watch your back.
Management is a joke. The judges are are the same there either asleep during a trial when there on the bench. Or making wise cracks at the defendants under there breaths to the court personnel.
The most enjoyable part. Not much to enjoy when your under so much stress. Just don't take advantage of any of there free employee services... – less

Consistently working towards diversity growth. I've learned from management how to effectively communicate, and understand project management in a team setting.

The days were either in court or preparing for litigation and trial. I learned a great deal about litigation and how to conduct a trial. The management was very supportive and knowledgeable. The co-workers were extremely supportive and easy to get along with. The hardest part is the stress of litigation. The most enjoyable part was winning a hard-fought – more... trial. – less

Great benefits and rewarding work. The benefits; union membership, health, dental, and eye insurance, sick leave, compensation days, vacation time, and the opportunity to earn over time, make the pay rate worth it.

Responding to emails, phone calls ( in and out), and projects for my boss.

I learned that I can handle more then I though I was capable of.

Management was good.

Absolutely loved my co-workers, very positive environment.

Learning time management was hard.

Knowing more in the technology field than my co-workers, and teaching them something new!

Learned about building of highways from surveying of proposed area to completion of highway

Although my job keeps me busy I made some great friends at work.

Note that job is state funded! Should fiscal issues arise your position will be cut in the most crude way. Position is driven by the amount of juveniles in custody. Juvenile custody levels remain low. The company "motto" commends the reformation of youth however there is no real rehabilitation.

I enjoyed my time working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Not everyone can do this job. Dealing with convicted criminals is not easy, its a stressful and demanding job. Co-workers are great for the most with a few execptions, communication is not great with the line staff. The best part of the day is going home after your shift is over if you don't get forced overtime.

The job was great. the people were great, the hours were very few

check all cutodies from the police station,check the building for anything unusual.,protect the judge and all court employees.tell other court officer where ther working for the day.my goal was everybody goes home safe.thats a good day.meeting people.

I worked as a temp.

It was the worst job I've ever held. I archived files that were old and full of mice excrements.
The employees status Quo was to do as little as possible.
It was like being in Jr. High all over again. The gossiping was ridiculous. If they spent more time actually doing their jobs, maybe something would get accomplished.

I would go to work to call claimants and employers to get both sides of a statement and according to the law of mass make a decision on claims that needed to be processed by a certain time frame. My co-workers were all very helpful and informative in the process. Always willing to help. Very laid back atmosphere to work in. it is expected from not only – more... me but my peers to get the job done. Would not change it for the world. – less

The case managers at the Dept. of Mental Health were some of the hardest working and most dedicated people I have ever met or had the privilege to work with. Their commitment to clients was unwavering.

Responsible for budgeting, compliance and auditing state spending and making recommendations to the Governor.

Developement, Deployment, Testing would be the day to day tasks
Learned team management and skilled related to EMC documentum

Beyond a certain level of management you have to be a card-carrying member of the Democrat party in order to retain your job.

Work frustrations were many, rewards were few. Lack of support for continued education and training. Extremely limited access to computers and access available was outdated. Enjoyed rapture with clients and co-workers but that was not the standard.
