Pros
Benefits, if you can last. They are not worth what you will most likely experience.
Cons
Where do I start? It is great to have access to quality, health and dental care, but that is almost a human right in 2019. HR is completely useless in terms of helping employees. Policies for pay raises and flexplace/flextime are not lear or equitable. Employees that are favored may work offsite while others are left to wonder if it is also aceptable for them. Unit managers, executives and office directors are paid extremely well, while everyone else is facing the same hardships as the clients that we serve. In some instances, tax dollars are used to give division directors and favored staff 10+ % increases in pay while lower-level staff are limited to 2-5% for any promotion. Come here and take a look around, there is a huge and intentional gap in diversity. White women and men run every office and cannot relate to the people that they are serving. The few minoritiess that are employed at CDHS are paid the least compared to their couunterparts and are not cosidered for leadership or management roles. You would think that this department would have been investigated by now for systemic patterns and practices of discriminating against minorities and older people for pay promotions and differential pay offerings/opportunities. So much more to tell :)
