Its a good learning curve to work at Department of Correctional Services ,the environment is huge,and working with different users and teams every day .No typical day at DCS, every day is different ,depending on the User's request and your planning for that day .We have a very good working relationship with my co-workers and we promote team work so that we can learn from each other .The most challenging aspect is when the User have an issue and they do not know how to define it because they do not understand the system and the other challenge is when there is Network problem .

Pros: Opportunity for groowth
Cons: No formal training
