We’re encouraged to challenge ourselves and we’re given the freedom to solve old problems in new ways.
This is a great place to work if you are someone like me who enjoys challenging the “that’s how it’s always been done” mindset through continuous process improvement. This has allowed us to improve our level of service to the citizens of our state and hopefully sets the bar for what they can come to expect from state government.
