Great Place to Start Career/Make Connections - Marketing Specialist Mississippi Development Authority Employee Review

Great benefits with opportunities for promotion.

Although the hours are flexible but consistent, finding a second job is not easy because a lot of employers are not willing to work with an employee who is only available every other weekend.

Benefits and staff in select offices such as Energy, Minority, Visit Mississippi, and International Trade

Antiquated work processes with an excessive amount of wasted paper. Entities are still submitting reimbursements with flash drives. Supervisors are shady and don’t take accountability in the Business Incentives department. Supervisor SW has acted as if she has given you paperwork when Amendments are being signed at a date later than others when quarterly reports are in the submission process and acts as if you were the one who has not contacted the entity when she was not forthcoming or direct about last minute additions. Said Supervisor does not willingly provide contact information when she is first in direct contact with all entities. Also witnessed prejudice based on several factors including sex. No holiday parties or anything or that nature. It’s all about the work always.
