This place makes the Titanic looks safe!

Pros

I am having a hard time trying to figure out what PRO to say about this place? Reduced benefits, reduced pay and an expectation to do more with less?

Cons

Oh where to begin! Like the title says, you'd be safer on the Titanic than going to work for JoCo.gov any day! They are consolidating left and right which means you better pray that when one department gobbles up yours that you are left with a job. Let's not even talk about tax payer waste either. Over the years I have seen departments order items that rarely if ever get used or if they are used are they ever necessary? For instance, the Door Card swipe at the employee bathroom for the Jo Bus Stop. Seriously? Whose idea was that?? Laziness comes to mind. Why not change the darn locks when someone leaves instead of implementing a very expensive technology solution that will ultimately cost tax payers money. Oh wait, no it won't. The commissioners will not raise taxes, they'll just CUT JOBS or Benefits or BOTH! This place like I said is worse than the Titanic!

It is an easy going nice place to work. There is never any stress and always a chance to learn something new.

For those that come from the private companies, this may be a bit slow.
