Advancement is hard to come by.

Pros

The health/dental/vision benefits are amazing. All holidays are paid and accumulation of annual and sick time is calculated on a monthly basis. Any type of governmental employment is surely a healthy resume-booster.

Cons

There are several people who have been employed for numerous years and are stuck in their ways. There is not a lot of room for advancement because more tenured employees tend to stick around and not allow younger individuals to progress. The basis upon whether you get a job or not is based heavily on who exactly you know in the company and not so much upon ability or education. Many of the processes are antiquated and need to be updated.

Pros

You get steady pay and full benefits.

Cons

Management is selected based off of friendships and not experience or qualifications. If you say anything about being concerned for your health or anything that goes against what they say. They will fire you or find other ways to intimidate you or force more work on you. The treatment is insane and any concerns that are addressed is met with hostility and annoyance. Its essentially all women that work here....

Pros

The only pros are the benefits and the job experience. The benefits work really well with those looking for a long term employment in a depressing environment. If you have hopes of advancing your career in criminal justice or the legal field then it is good experience starting out.

Cons

Lack of training, lack of leadership, lack of professionalism,lack of training, lack of common sense and lack of consistency.
