Pros
The pension benefit is valuable and many of the employees are decent people.
Cons
Unfortunately, the current Executive Director has fostered an incredibly toxic work environment. Employees are no longer trusted to do their jobs, so snap judgements are made based on the whims of a few individuals with seniority without seeking the expertise of people who have excelled in their positions long prior to the arrival of current leadership. The result is high turnover and workplace instability as the ED constantly shuffles around the organization hierarchy. The environment has become increasingly unprofessional as certain people at the top will allow their tempers to flare and sling verbal abuse at the mildest inconvenience. There was a time when TMRS was a place where people were passionate about the mission. At the very least, no one was afraid that they would be disparaged based on their boss's mood that day. I can only hope it can recover from the current toxic culture.
