Pros

This department is now a shell of its former self. What was once a group of dedicated professionals who were justly rewarded for their hard work has now been reduced to a chaotic circus. Management has dismantled the department at the expense of its users and the taxpayers of Marion County. It's disheartening to witness the decline of an organization that was once so highly regarded, and it's clear that the current leadership has lost sight of what truly matters.

Cons

It's unfortunate to say, but I strongly advise against considering this company as a potential workplace. The current management is comprised of individuals who lack strong leadership skills and are instead, incredibly fragile narcissists. Additionally, they seem to be clinging onto outdated technologies that may have been useful in the past, but are now severely limiting progress. Furthermore, nepotism is rampant, resulting in jobs being offered to friends and romantic partners who are unqualified to perform even the most basic of tasks. To make matters worse, sensitive data is being given to individuals who have not passed basic background checks, including at least one known felon. Anyone who stands up against the madness is targeted and pushed out through witch hunts and flimsy write-ups. The situation is further compounded by HR's apparent allegiance to management, leading them to prioritize protecting the organization over its employees. Lastly, management has demonstrated a gross overspending and mismanagement of the budget.

Pros

Co-workers are professional and supportive

Cons

Commissioners are trying to negotiate a 0% cost of living increase for the next two years. Budget is reliant on tax dollars so it is always a fight to get the tools needed to do the work.
