Pros

Meet great people with different partisan leanings Pay rate is comparable to many temp assignments County Clerk does some training herself and buys supper on election day Tries to keep employees safe and healthy Casual dress Opportunity to return

Cons

Fewer hours than anticipated and "flexibility" was annoying Computer assessment required before each shift -- unpaid Repetitive motions and pressure to finish tasks quickly Bad about making sure breaks are taken Schedule is day by day, so "flexibility" is a priority Offer letter gave benefits that were not actually present at the job site and did not specify pay rate. Coyness is not attractive in an offer letter. Election Day spent 14.5 hours at the job site

Pros

- Working for a great community - Learn a lot about how things work in your city

Cons

Since working here, I have seen the director of a department harass multiple employees and have to go through mediation. The employees went to HR and were retaliated against. Employees have been told that their superiors were HR's "clients" and that HR has no obligation to employees. Employees are discriminated against for health issues and being pregnant. The director gives special treatment to an employee who was found sleeping on the job. This place is a mess.
