Pros

The work we actually do is rewarding

Cons

Management creates an extremely toxic work environment. Supervisors have a short temper, poor communication skills and are very condescending. Any concerns that are raised are quickly dismissed. Even when 4 formal complaints from different employees are filed against the same Supervisor, the County will just dismiss the complaints.

Pros

Can gain latest and highly complex accounting/GASB skills and knowledge through demanding work and weekly meetings. Butte County is in the midst of strategic compensation improvement plan.

Cons

Endless inflow of work. Introvert culture with little time to care about each other.
