Pros

Benefits are better than most places, but in the last two years, they have definitely decreased. Depending what department you are in, they pay for higher education.... but this again depends if you are considered a valuable employee

Cons

Step increases were frozen for years, now they come in much smaller increments once per year, which means you will pretty much make the same for years. Theres alot of favoratism and that often determines who moves up. Most departments are under staffed, therefor workers are incredibly over worked

Pros

The people in my department were all great and incredibly friendly, so even as a newcomer temp I felt like part of a true team. They're willing to offer advice and help with anyone else, and the general vibe is always nice. Other than that, communication is good, everyone's kept in the loop day-to-day.

Cons

Communication between departments can be a little strained, but it's pretty rare. Wifi connection in the offices is also prone to being spotty, but it's workable.

Pros

I have a great supervisor and co-workers. Benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

Higher management tends to micro manage and add the most ridiculous tasks on to every day tasks. They tend to make decisions based on what will make them look best, rather than what will helpfully serve our community. It's almost as if they do not know the average customer we are serving, because they have been so far removed from the lower end job classifications.
