Pros

Great benefits even for part time, predictable work flow, some teams dedicated to community and making a difference in the county.

Cons

Working weekends for several months for CAFR preparation, takes over your life for half the year. Little chance of advancement unless you leave for another position. Bitter long term employees. My Story: Hired as senior accountant , FTE in Dept of Exec Services. Performance Review and everything good until hiring manager took temp position in another group, Interim manager took over, put me on a performance plan and documented each week review. The interim manager convinced senior management to extend my probation to 9 months, dismissed at end of probation, no severance, just get your things and leave. Would really recommend not giving up your current job if you're even reasonably happy where you are. Doubt you would find the work rewarding in Finance, Dept of Executive Services

Pros

Great benefit program including health-dental-vision coverage 100% for employee and spouse (no premiums).

Cons

Management is extremely narrow minded; does not accommodate true diversity. Method for dealing with employees they do not like is to make their life so intolerable that they quit. Training is inadequate.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Work here if you desire no life, no spouse, no children, no pets. Oh, and if you have any of those - prepare to lose them all because you'll NEVER be around to see them.
