Transportation Planner in the Bike/Ped Division
I enjoyed working for NCDOT as a Transportation Planner in the Bicycle/Pedestrian Division. I have a Master's degree in City and Regional Planning from UNC - Chapel Hill. I learned a lot and enjoyed the work, but the salary was very low and there were no salary adjustments whatsoever while I worked there for eight years.
ProsStable, fund work
ConsLow pay, no promotion opportunities

What do employees say about Texas Department of Transportation's culture and work-life balance?
TXDOT should be called The Department of Safety. That’s all they are about now. Very little work performed anymore.
TXDOT was a very good Department to work for until it was decided from most likely politicians to change the culture of TXDOT. We went from getting the work done Safety on the road for the taxpayers to do nothing but be safe. In other words, do nothing but listen to constant propaganda about Safety and how smart the top management is.
Employee input means nothing in this new culture. Also, if you don’t have a degree, you won’t advance.
It’s become a total waste of tax money in my opinion. - less
