Pros

This is a good place to work if you are not ambitious. Pension and retirement benefits are probably the biggest plus, but you have to stick it out long enough to be eligible. 9/80 and (in some departments) 4/10 work schedules are available.

Cons

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.

Pros

The people in my department were all great and incredibly friendly, so even as a newcomer temp I felt like part of a true team. They're willing to offer advice and help with anyone else, and the general vibe is always nice. Other than that, communication is good, everyone's kept in the loop day-to-day.

Cons

Communication between departments can be a little strained, but it's pretty rare. Wifi connection in the offices is also prone to being spotty, but it's workable.

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.
