Good starter job - Deputy Clerk Rockwall County Texas Employee Review

They let me make my own hours and take breaks whenever I wanted. They gave me the mount of clients that best fit my schedule:

You can’t come and go out of the counseling room as desired. You have to wait for a guard to let you out.

-Great benefits package that includes 401k, health insurance, dental, vision and short & long term disability. -Unpaid 12 week maturity and paternity leave but you can build up your comp, vacation, and sick time to get paid throughout that time so I wouldn't take this job if you're just now starting a family because you won't have enough time to build up that time for paid leave. -Merit raises almost once a year or every other year. -Get your own office, no cubicle, -Easy to ask for time off or vacation. -Job security... No lay offs and very hard to get fired from what I hear. -Biggest pro is that this is a great job to have on your resume and it's a great stepping stone, but not a great career long term. Burn out and turn over rate is insane here.

-Zero work-life balance. This is an 8-5 Monday-Friday in person job where you sit at a desk all day long with zero chance of working from home. If you live in the area and this is something you're looking for then that's fine, but if you have to commute or you're looking for flexibility and time with your family, this is not the job for you. -Very high turn over rate. It's a revolving door here. -Bad leadership. Do not look out for their people and care only about politics and making the higher ups at the county happy. -For this position specifically, a lot is put on you by the chief to complete fiscal and financial tasks that technically you're supposed to just "assist" with, but it ends up 100% being your responsibility even though you don't get paid for it. -Passive aggressiveness, gaslighting and misogynistic behavior from leadership. -Very old fashion way of doing things, not willing to change or adapt. -Policies and rules change all the time, no specific order or way of doing things until someone gets mad about the way you're doing something. Some people, including leadership come and go as they please and don't answer to anyone, while others are scolded for it. -Inconsistent and not always the best morale among staff.
