Pros

Benefits (especially retirement), training (sometimes). Even if you are incompetent, you can get elected to a department head position, do nothing constructive and accumulate a nice retirement. If you are an elected, you don't have to follow the policies and procedures as outlined.

Cons

cronyism, nepotism, union environment, silos, if you don't work in safety department or one of the public works departments, or are an elected, you are just a second class citizen. Many people spend more time talking and networking than getting a job done.

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.
