It's unclear what "select employment groups" other than Hawaii state, Maui county, and Honolulu city and county employees and relatives can join, but for those who are eligible, it looks like it's not a too terrible card, with 1% cash back, no annual fee, and no FTF:

It doesn't say but since it's a Visa I'm guessing its C&S.

If they contract out with PSCU there's a good chance it'll have a PIN (but would probably be signature priority).
