Good place, but poor management

Office assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a government job which leads to stability and great benefits. Most of the people are really nice to work with too.

Cons

The main issue I had was with management. Many that were hired ended up being micro managers which wasn't needed. They didn't end up staying long, but it was stressful to say the least.

Not the best, but not entirely bad

Business Outlook

Pros

I met a lot of good disadvantaged people. Rewarding working with customer's in need and helping those who truly have been displaced.

Cons

Co-workers and some management created hostile environment. Cliques, Office Politics, Favoritism, Policies are terribly set by the state. Goes against normal people's morals, had to turn a blind eye and conform to the majority too often. LOW PAY, doesn't match the job qualities and you are overworked.

Pros

The County of Riverside is a good place to work, people at the County Whine a lot about working. I don't know if they have been here to long or they have never worked in a real private sector job. The County treats it people fairly.

Cons

Working with people that hate everything about their lives and want to make sure you are miserable too, a lot of complaining about nothing that is really happening.
