Pros

Great to work with citizens of county. Most county employees are professional and hardworking. Pay is quite low for expectations set forth, but as a whole benefits are OK. HR is rather nonexistent. Personal bias governs in regard to retention and promotion.

Cons

Elected officials do not play by the rules. Employee communication is kept at a bare minimum between employees and departments at the expense of tax payers; efficiency and transparency is lost. Most emails are required to be BCC by department heads so they can micromanage employees.

Pros

The county offers great hours, good pay, and descent benefits.

Cons

As with all county jobs, you are an at will employee, and may be let go for any reason. The department heads are all elected officials, if nobody runs against them they remain in office.
