Pros

Job security was number one along with good benefits and health insurance. You must always remember in this job, you work for the public you serve and should treat everyone the way you would want to be treated.

Cons

There was never enough people to do the volume of work you are required to handle. This would lead to stress which in turn caused short tempers, flare ups, rudeness from the public and from co workers. You always had to remember that you were dealing with people's only means of support and handle each one with the care and attention they deserved.

Pros

The people I worked with were the best reason. Helping the customers was also very rewarding. In times like these were you have to work harder with less people, the management always provided us with the best tools and encouraged us to do our best. This was one of the best places I've ever worked. I would love to go back.

Cons

I was laid off due to budget issues. I was only suppose to be a summer temp. My Supervisor was able to extend me for two years until she wsa no longer allowed to extend me and I was laid off. She had hoped to hire me in. Unfortunatley the economy went south and they had to lay me off. Not before I had to train a disabled vetran who unfotunatley could not keep up. I have no hard feelings, I do wish I could of stayed.
