Business outlook
Pros
The benefits are good and there is management within certain departments at Milwaukee County that are truly trustworthy and honest.
Cons
Very political and racist place to work. Employees are not promoted based on performance. They are promoted based on how well they are liked and go along with the wrong that is done with other employees. Human Resources Staff are not trustworthy.

We are “CHANGEMAKERS” and you would experience a change towards this in future. Thank you in advance for understanding and giving us the opportunity to make it better.
The pay is not worth the amount of work
Expect to work mandatory overtime to equal out to approximately 150 hours in a pay period (2 weeks)
Expect backlash from supervisors about not having a paper timesheet when they already have an electronic form in at exactly 8am when you are already running a dorm
Expect to call for a quick break (bathroom or running down to the supervisors office) and it taking 4 or 5 announcements for someone to show up or 45 minutes for someone to show up. Not helpful when you are having an IBD flare up
Expect backlash and unhelpful feedback from supervisors
The handbook says all females that end up pregnant are to be put on light duty but there is only 1 light duty post that is generally filled already
Expect to not have time to prioritize your health, safety, or wellbeing
Expect to go through an FTO program that is garbage and misleading
Expect to not go through jailers certification for 9-10 months after your start date even though you're probably gonna be told in your interview that it is within the first 90 days
