Pros

Had some interesting clients and enjoyed working with the public and a small handful of coworkers. Glad to get a pension

Cons

Everything else. This is for the probation department. Pay and benefits not good compared to other counties, retirement contribution too high, outdated systems, lack of consistency fairness and professionalism, some downright mean abusive and extremely apathetic and lazy uncaring coworkers, no innovation or passion for the work, employee input is neither asked for or valued, promotion process is a ridiculous joke, extreme lack of leadership, no work life balance whatsoever.
