Pros

The plus side is that you get to serve the public and make a difference in the community depending on the level of employment you attain. After 10 years of full time work the benefits begin to be worth it...pension, 4 weeks vacation, longevity pay, etc.

Cons

The elected officials are a joke.There is zero collaboration between departments and agencies and the County is wasting the opportunity of a lifetime by not figuring out how to manage the proceeds from the sale of the County Hospital.

Pros

If you like having nothing to do because of red tape, waiting vendors, and the general glacial pace of government, this place is great.

Cons

Terrible management, mired in nepotism and incompetence. Management is regressive, openly sexist and racist, and adversarial. Mean Girls levels of cliquey drama-fueled water cooler gossip. Except for the maintenance people who just seem to want to do their jobs and go home.
