A lot of freedom to interact with park visitors and do what you want to do. Dedicated people who want to make a difference. Explosive growth and diversity across county. Fun job if left alone to patrol and do job.
Cons
Severely understaffed. Director/CEO is uncaring about employees and creates a toxic work environment with and through his senior managers. High turnover rate in all departments that hasn't been addressed for many years. Does not want Rangers to do police work unless it benefits one of his personal goals. More than 6 Chiefs in 10 years because of Director. Constant threats to remove and replace employees. No opportunities for advancement or additional assignments.
Being outdoors, freedom to roam the county, public, coworkers, doing nothing for 8 hours a day
Cons
Been through 5 chiefs in 7 years, seriously lacking REAL management, supervisors are clueless and uncaring, management are never around, revolving door policy, will remind you that you can be replaced in a day
