Pros

Remember when your mom said, if you dont have anything nice to say keep it to yourself.

Cons

HR leadership is only looking out for the County not you as an employee. Watch your back. Take notes of all interactions. Operations Director, Solid Waste Department Deputy Director do not support other managers or staff.

Great Benefits-Poor Pay

Pros

As the title suggests, Ada County has a fantastic benefits package for full-time employees.

Cons

In contrast to the excellent benefits, the county's salary structure is, to put it kindly, dated. Boise and the Treasure Valley is fast becoming a very expensive area to live in. Ada County salaries have not kept pace with the increased cost of living.
