Pros

Get your experience and leave. After working at the health department for a few years, I was sick of the environment and had to leave. However, the health department provided me the experience I needed to move on, and for that, I am grateful. Most of the people are nice, though some people shouldn't even be there, but the lax culture allows them to linger around.

Cons

-Gossipy environment -Employees who consistently fail to do their job are not fired -It's a government job so the pay is below average -Overall, little diversity, though some floors are more diverse than others
