Pros

Pension, Health Benefits, Deferred Compensation, Paid Time Off

Cons

Very Stressful Environment, County Government is a very complex organization with a very high tolerance for ambiguity. Managers there are often hired with little or no expertise over the departments they are leading. Compensation is well below the market range. The environment is very political. Managers often come in with a high degree of un-explainable clout.
