Pension; flexible scheduling; ability to telecommute (working remotely); helping the people of Minnesota; veteran friendly.
Knowing I'll have the benefit of a pension when I retire is very attractive. It helps my family plan for the long term, and provides a sense of security.
Coming from a large IT consulting company in the private sector, I enjoyed a flexible work schedule and telecommuting. The state's opportunities are even better. As a business analyst working for DHS, I enjoyed working four 10-hour days with every Monday off. I also telecommuted on Fridays. Having a three-day weekend, every weekend was incredible.
I love coming to work every day knowing that I will be helping Minnesotans in need. The civic engagement I feel working with my teammates is very rewarding.
For new employees…Welcome to the state! For prospective employees…Apply!
My wife likes to remind me of how many people my work impacts each day. On one occasion, we were at a large gathering and I was having a bad day. My wife changed my outlook by saying "Just think, there are probably a couple of dozen people here who you help with their health care every year."
I am an avid Vikings fan who enjoys hiking, photography, kayaking and gaming.
