Pros: great health insurance, life insurance and 401k program.

Extensive opportunities to learn as worked in the General Litigation Unit of the PR Department of Justice
Legal Official (Former Employee), San Juan, Puerto Rico – March 22, 2013
Pros: having the opportunity to serve my country well, and apply education and skills.
Cons: uncertaintity that changes in government brings.
Worked at the Department of Justice for years with the intention of being developed further within the ranks of the department.

However, Puerto Rico is highly politically motivated and oriented towards changes in its governmental structures in general election years. The changes made by the newly elected governor in 2008 caused the loss of 30,000 jobs – more... in the public sector. I was one of the affected professionals, who had to actually re-invent themselves to survive in a country with high unemployment, more so for public servants like myself. – less

Pros: professionalism, networks, legal experience, technical experience

Watching and learning of what it takes to keep civil society, civil. It takes hard work, appreciation for compromise, the law, mercy, and for the most heinous, greedy, brutal, cunning, and knowing the difference between whats right and fair, and whats wrong and corrupt. Learning that people abuse the system, and the system can be broken, but can be – more... fixed on by good people. I had great mentors. – less

Perfect Job, but with little opportunity for professional development
Attorney / Special Prosecutor (Current Employee), San Juan, PR – March 14, 2013
Working for the Department of Justice has been a grat experience. I have learned a lot. The only problem has been that, although I have asked for it, I have not been given the chance to transfer to other divisions in order to continue the learning process.
