Pros
While at Caltrans you are afforded the opportunity to explore the many different aspect of right of way and real estate in general. Agents are often given a degree of discretion that is not found in the private sector. The employees at Caltrans are great - everybody is willing to help out whenever necessary.
Cons
income for Right of Way Agents at Caltrans lags behind similar positions with other private and governmental entities. Also, the union that you are required to join mostly represents general labor positions which weakens your position when it is time to negotiate.
