Issues w/ Consistencies; Lack of Upward Mobility
Pros
The County is both Unionized; and works in multiple division to better serve citizens throughout Riverside County. County gives you valuable work experience; great resume builder, and the ability to work proactively.
Cons
The county is known as "It is who you know, NOT what you know" that gets you the job. Unfortunately this saying rings true in many circumstances. There is lack of upward mobility, or promotion from within. The county pays minimal, and struggles in areas pertaining to approvals on increases in compensation between Directors pay; and that of entry level workers pay are continuously compromised and often times up for negotiation regularly. Level of work; and favoritism runs high due to managements level of mistrust in personnel and visa versa.
