Pros

So many different opportunities! I started as a temp in 2009, making 8.25, left there in 2016 at $23.78. Job security, they are also understanding about family time (leaving to pick up kids from school) and accommodate you if u hand been there a while and are a good consistent worker. All holidays off! 2 weeks of vacation a year.

Cons

Too much politics. County tends to promote management based on “diversity” and not qualification. Caseloads for caseworkers (this is the last position I held and left after I had my son) are 250 or more, when they should be at 80 per person.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent professional and loyal co-workers.

Cons

Little if any professional development. Eroding benefits due to cost-cutting by County supervisors and the majority of employees have been without a union contract for almost 2 years and counting. Health benefit costs going up 15-20% annually. Riverside County brings in new supervisors from other agencies who have no background or experience in supervising staff in their new position, but are bureaucrats who know how to manipulate the County system. This process protects bad bosses, who are prevalent nowadays in the County of Riverside and rule with impunity, empowered by Human Resources. This County is in crisis mode with incompetent leadership with extreme political agendas.
