Pros

Interesting projects but you’ll be micromanaged. Also, pro is the pay scale is published and you can look it up! Do not accept step 1 which is what they always offer as a default if you were making more at a prior job! You can negotiate and should always negotiate for it no matter what!

Cons

The management of the department is terrible.. While I was there it was all just Boomers doing their two years as “best and highest” to get their golden ticket retirement jackpot. One all us newer hires aren’t eligible for because they eventually changed the benefit rules when they realized they couldn’t afford to keep paying all these people $100k retirements (it’s a real thing! google CalPERS $100k retirement club!)

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.
