Pros

Great benefits, good salary, great Executive.

Cons

The Exec has spearheaded the idea of employee engagement and the concept of "Be the Difference." It is a wonderful notion full of great potential. But the people in management positions didn't get there by being the difference. They got there by being the same. In fact, I would argue that being the difference is quite likely career minimizing and maybe worse. I don't see anything happening to change county management, such as it is.

Pros

Good and necessary purposeful work and causes, steady and reliable work

Cons

Management is offended by anyone who disagrees. They shutdown debate, flow of ideas and creative discussion. Overpaid contract workers hired as scapegoats for poor management and team-work environment. Self-interested and Isolated management create boring, wasteful and dour work environments.
