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.
