Pros

First off, the City of Cincinnati offers a lot for someone wanting to grow a career. Start wherever you can get in and move your way to an Enterprise Agency (Sewers, Water) - thank me later. If you work hard and smart, doors will open. Pay is fair but not great. Benefits are above average but slowly declining. It's not hard to really shine in the City of Cincinnati if you have some initiative. Lots of great people and exciting projects to work on. If you are smart you can make it a great place to work.

Cons

This is a local government and does not operate like a business. Effectiveness is not the primary goal here. Lots of seemingly arbitrary goals and strategies. Politics is naturally thick and can be frustrating if you have initiative. Management principles are mostly lacking but it also varies somewhat where you land in the city structure.
