Pros

Temp positions are good foot in the door to get the opportunity to meet those who could hire you later. Once in & off probation, stable & long term career. Work schedule, benefits are good. Many departments to move into.

Cons

No temp to hire positions except for some OA positions. Riv Co is VERY unpaid for most positions compared to other counties & private industry. Government red tape is everywhere! If it make sense then Riv Co probably will do the opposite. Management set in their ways and resistant to change. Hires according to Peter Principle.
