Secure job, but low pay and politics definitely play here - great work life balance if that is what you are looking for.
|
|
Great work life balance, good benefits and job security with most positions.
|
Low pay, absolutely no raises and politics definitely play a role in promotions regardless of qualifications which can be very frustrating. No raises are given unless you are promoted and getting promoted requires "friends" in the right places. They will tell you there are raises and room for advancement, but those seem to only be given to those politically connected even over good current employees more qualified for open positions.

Great learning experience...
|
|
Great vacation and sick leave. A lot of opportunities to learn and network with other state and local entities. Opportunity to help better the state.
|
Very low pay and virtually complete lack of mobility. Frequent binding red tape and debilitating bureaucracy can be burdensome and frustrating.

The people are very friendly and want to see you succeed. I would work for this company again in the future.
|
Generally every two to three years the Executive team changes which causes massive changes to the entire organization. This can be difficult to adapt to but is a a part of working for the organization. Also, it is a state agency, so the pay is low and raises only come when the legislature grants one.

Mississippi Development Authority, Making a Difference
|
|
Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is one agency that is certainly making a difference in Mississippi. The people who work at MDA are concerned about Mississippians, their welfare, their opportunities, and the perception of Mississippi.
|
Working for the State of Mississippi has its inherent issues. Lack of mobility and career opportunities are two. MDA touts Mississippi's creative economy. Harness some of that attitude and effort and apply it to the rank and file of MDA. Be creative in regard to the staff.

Promote from within. Develop your staff. If you have to choose between sending many folks to a foreign country and training the staff, be sure to opt to train the staff some of the time. Mississippi will be better served by well trained, motivated employees.

Great place to work though I wish there were more opportunities
|
|
The benefits at MDA are really good. Most who work at MDA are friendly and competent. At MDA one has the ability to impact people's lives regularly.
|
A lack of a career path, promotion opportunities, and pay raises are the biggest marks against MDA. A lack of training is another.

Your people want to serve you and the people of Mississippi better. Send them to some training periodically. Being a state agency, we know your hands are tied somewhat. We also know they are not tied as much as you would have us think.
