Pros

The county offers excellent health benefits and pay. Your PTO is very generous as well.

Cons

Mandatory Covid Vaccines. Difficult to advance due to politics. The political environment makes it extremely unhealthy and adds severe stress. Be prepared if you do not civilly agree with the political surroundings to be told to be quiet or disciplined.
