Pros

You have a few nice coworkers stuck in the same misery with you

Cons

Chain of command is a bunch of self serving idiots set to make everyone miserable and only care about themselves and getting promoted. Exhausted staff forced to stay for mandatory overtime without lunch breaks and sometimes no pee breaks. Not family friendly not flexible and the reason so much it is people leaving by the hundreds to work in anything else far away. Benefits are ok but not worth the headache. Benefits better than Walmart but not as good as Apple

Pros

I worked at TCSO for 25-years (Corrections, Patrol, SWAT, Detective, Sergeant). I’m one of many recent ethical employees/leaders that have left or been run-off by ignorant, hypocritical, narcissistic administrators (including the current sheriff (Sally Hernandez). This agency has gone downhill since Sheriff Margo Frasier left and no longer represents the “respect for law” that they are charged with. A majority of the men and women of corrections and LE are good people, but they are stifled by the micromanagement and poor leadership at all levels. 💢Co-workers to share in your misery. 💢Benefts and retirements are adequate

Cons

💢Lousy “leadership” (see above) 💢Several administrators have admitted to committing FELONIES‼️ (POCS, Agg. Perjury, Indecent Exposure (sex acts on Port A beach),etc. 💢Deceitful pay-scale due to 10-year old pay freeze that admin fails to rectify
