Pros

Being a government job its a secure postion and there is opportunity for advancement if you fit in and know what you are doing.

Cons

Very Clicky, government is adverse to change and runs at a snails pace which makes innovation and change very difficult. Government is risk-adverse and employees are afraid of making mistake and there is alot of CYA going on or blaming somone else. Morale is not very good.

Pros

Good for a stepping stone into another county or city agency as well as gaining experience in a field to launch into a career elsewhere.

Cons

Severely underpay their employees. Never staff as they should and expect everyone to work overtime all the time which leads to a horrendous retention rate. Personnel issues run rampant and god forbid you be anything but a conservative Christian and work for Shasta county. Very little room for growth as well.

Great if you like to play political games, brown nose, and look busy while doing nothing.

Pros

Job security (Once you make it past probation, supervisors aren't willing to put in the work to fire you no matter what you do). Never ending work

Cons

Departmental and interdepartmental politics are insane Skills and abilities literally mean nothing. It's all about who you kiss up to Coworkers will do everything possible to sabotage you if you are the slightest bit better at their job than they are
