Great job security, not a lot of advancement

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Job security, medical insurance, dental insurance, optional additional vision & life insurance, 457 deferred comp in lieu of 401k

Cons

Not a lot of room for advancement - you can move forward when the person ahead of you does or they retire, upper level advancement is based on who you already know - not your qualifications, things are the way they are because that is how it's always been - when changes are made it may be counter-productive.

Ehh depends on which department

Pros

Hour long lunch break. Some of the people were nice and helpful

Cons

A lot of people here are just waiting to retire and don't care about helping anyone else so it can be challenging to start new (And be black) and get other people to help you. I received no formal training from my manager and the old guard/good ole boys run the show. Compensation is low but about what is expected working for a county government. Depends on what department you work in but the systems we used were old and the county "doesn't have" money for investments into upgrades. I would look for somewhere else to work that isn't so politically motivated.
