Pros

Stable employment with good benefits.

Cons

Hard to move up into management (my opinion). While working for the County I earned a Management degree. I've applied for several managerial jobs within the County--no success. However, there are exceptions to this. Workers with connections (family or friends in high places) seem to get fast-tracked into management jobs.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are terrific in a climate where benefits are continually being stripped away, Salt Lake County continues to provide employer paid family insurance at an 80/20 premium rate. Management is also aware of the need to take time off and do their best to accomodate people in being able to use the time they have accrued.

Cons

You can get whipsawed back and forth at times as policies change. There are many elected officials that are all vying for authority and competing to flex their muscles, and you can get shot down if caught in the crossfire. There is no central place for policy or direction, leaving many confused. Each department or division has its own culture, which can be good or bad.
