Pros

Workload is very reasonable. The job was challenging but goals were reachable. The atmosphere has the ability to be light and fun. There are managers who do genuinely care about their people. They see the value in having happy employees makes a happy business operation and makes happy customers.

Cons

The commission’s are the rudest, most entitled “Karens and Kevins” I’ve ever seen in my life. They really need to be humbled. If you think they are bad during the board meetings, you should see them make all of their staff members cry on a regular basis when the county isn't watching them. Outside of the commissioners, most upper management is disconnected. We all know HR is not your friend but it’s serious here. Trust they are best buddies with your manager and will ALWAYS side with the manager and CTA. A good amount of managers have “toxic work family” culture. One lady in the finance office had a reputation of causing livelihood impacts and many more problems on employees if they didn’t show her *enough* attention and special interest. Her name rhymes with Bashley Beer.

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.
