Pros

Work life balance. We only work 40 hours, have the opportunity to work from home (part of the time or on a full time basis), vacation and sick leave is granted and are seperate amounts (6 hours bi-weekly for vacation, 4 hours bi-weekly for sick leave), rarely is time off denied except in exigent circumstances which I have never seen come up. Good pay for the amount of time that is needed to be on the job.

Cons

Limitations on outside work. They have policies not allowing you to work in similar industries (i.e. preparing taxes, financial planning, accounting work, etc.). The government also does not allow you to run in local politics which may only impact a handful of people but does matter to me.

Toxic nightmare

Pros

Easy interview, desperate to hire

Cons

There is a reason they are desperate to hire Nepotistic ego-tripping toxic managers who live to degrade, humiliate, and bully everyone under their power. Environment of fear, brown-nosing, bullying, and harassment. Management are power tripping and will make you miserable if they don't like you, and managers support other managers and no one else will help you, they protect their own and will throw you under the bus. 1 year probation period where you have no rights, and can't work from home, not even hybrid, not even in situations where it would make sense for everyone like weather events, sickness, etc. They don't train you well enough, make you guess how to do your job, scream at you if you do some bureaucratic petty little detail wrong, won't explain how to fix it, won't tell you what they want, every manager wants it done a different way so you can't get any answer on how to do it, they just want to make you feel small and stupid so they can get off. Meanwhile they are wasting taxpayer money to fan their own ego and live out their dreams of bullying people without accountability or recourse.
