Business Outlook

Pros

- Stability in having a government (County) Job and Solano County is risk averse so the chance of layoffs is very low - Work in a department that includes health and social services programs (i.e. a "superagency") - If you live in Solano County you are ~30-45 minute drive from the East Bay and Sacramento

Cons

- Very old policies and there is reluctance to update them from leadership. For example, Leadership refuses to allow Human Resources to post openings on LinkedIn. -County is very risk averse so change is slow and often by the time a change is approved you are still behind other agencies by several years. - County wants staff to stop teleworking now that the pandemic is "over"
