Pros

The pay is decent and equipment is good.

Cons

Recently the County has been hacking away at the benefits and every contract cycle is now contentious and a battle. Staffing was horrible the entire time I worked there. I felt very unsafe especially working night shift. The Administration changed to a horrible micro-management policy model that seemed more interested in punishing employees rather than recognizing their contributions and achievements. The board of commissioners is completely unsupportive and have questionable priorities about public safety and even ignore surveys of the residents that put safety at the highest importance for living in the county. I would not recommend working for the county government at this time until the board and the administration get replaced with reasonable, grounded people.
