Pros

The benefits package and regular work hours. I work a 9/80 schedule, which gives me every other Friday off. Additionally, our county participates in CALPERS, the state pension fund, offering retirement benefits with the formula 3%@60. We get all the government holidays off, and my job receives 30 days of annual leave(vacation and sick days) and a week of educational leave. The health benefits are about average and do require some out of pocket costs. For my position, I am not required to be "on call" outside of my regular work hours.

Cons

As with any government entity, there is a certain level of bureaucracy.

Pros

I have a great supervisor and co-workers. Benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

Higher management tends to micro manage and add the most ridiculous tasks on to every day tasks. They tend to make decisions based on what will make them look best, rather than what will helpfully serve our community. It's almost as if they do not know the average customer we are serving, because they have been so far removed from the lower end job classifications.
