Pros

Manageable work and personal life tradeoff. You can't be compelled to work long hours and weekends. Hourly pay plus overtime pay. Plenty of time off. Excellent benefits. King County is an easy place to work.

Cons

Boring work. No chance for big money. You don't get any more for being successful Slow advancement King County is not very satisfying because you don't do anything constructive. It is only regulatory - almost a policing function

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. It's government, so yearly COLA and regular step increases.

Cons

Lab management staff are disrespectful and incompetent. They are out of touch with staff duties and unrealistic in their expectations. Terrible, terrible morale. They don't do enough to reward good employees or encourage those that are slacking to pull their weight.
