County of Riverside reviews

Unless you're part of the "in crowd," it is difficult to get noticed and to advance. Job titles do not clearly communicate job duties and the county makes use of many "unofficial" supervisors who have direct reports, but lack the title, authority, or salary of a supervisor. This makes it difficult to have your skills, competencies, and experience recognized if you wish to compete for roles both within the organization and in the private sector.

As most of the reviews have mentioned, this is a "who do you know" not "what you know" work environment. There is a lot of dead weight in the work force that supervisors and managers do not want to take the time to address. That leaves all the work going to just a few hardworking employees in most teams. The others know they will receive the same pay as the hardworking ones and no one will bother them. It is shameful considering all employees are "public servants". That concept is not understood by even the high level management. The citizens of Riverside County should ask for more grand jury investigations in all areas of the County considering it is their money being spent. Experienced, knowledgeable and hard working employees are passed up for advancement because they are not friends or not the same religion as the hiring Manager. I've seen it all so nothing surprises me anymore.
