Pros

The best part about the job is the ability to help the community while receiving decent pay and health benefits. Other benefits are offered on the HR page and you would be foolish not to take advantage!

Cons

The problem with working in the county is that management, for the most part, are politically appointed and have little to no experience with handling the job. There are good managers who belong in their position, but are few and far between.

Pros

Benefits and 18 paid holidays

Cons

The county did not want to do the work to create positive or much needed standards. The bar is set low with building standards, upper management does not have finger on pulse. Upper management also does not want to support their subordinates to make the changes needed at the team level to weed out the non-performers. I was told Allegheny County was not ready for me yet. Would taxpayers want to know that a manager was trying to get her employees to do 8 hours of work, to raise the standards and create positive change-- but was not allowed.
