Pros

Middle level management was fantastic. The work was often fast pace. In general my co-workers were great. There are some really good people in the County to work with.

Cons

The director was/is lacking in several key areas of basic management and personal skills. Salaries were importunate to the amount of actual work which was being done. The atmosphere turned toxic when the new director arrived and nobody knew what to do.

Pros

The benefits are very good and it can be meaningful work.

Cons

There are often high caseloads and leadership can be very mistrusting of employees with little accountability. Some supervisors are appropriate with employees and focused on helping their team do good work. Other supervisors are highly emotional and create unnecessary stress for their employees due to contributing to this culture of mistrust and micromanagement. There was a constant concern of supervisors searching for persons “gossiping” that led to secrecy, employees turning on one another, and took time away from important work serving the community. Career opportunities are limited by what supervisor you work for.
