Environment
State employees can expect to work in an environment in which they will be treated fairly in accordance with the law. Performance evaluations are conducted regularly, opportunities for promotion and advancement are available, and various training classes are offered to enhance and supplement skill sets. Customer service and professionalism are heavily emphasized in all offices. The majority of State employees work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; with some offices offering flexible hours. Some State employees work in facilities and programs requiring 24 hour, 7 day a week coverage.

Shortly after being hired, new employees are encouraged to participate in a training session called Orientation to State Employment. This session outlines in detail the rules, regulations, policies and benefits of State employees. New employees will serve a probationary period of either six months or one year before achieving permanent status. This probationary period is used to allow new employees to become familiar with the responsibilities and procedures of the position as well as prove their competence and reliability. State employees are eligible to compete in recruitments for promotional openings after six months of continuous service.
