Pros

Less demanding than the private sector. Good people who are passionate about helping others. Dedicated PA and clinic to county employees.

Cons

Poor benefits, especially vacation, for 5 years (until vested) Change adverse: it takes a lot to make changes. Slow pace. Depending on what area, things take a long time to move, and it can frustrate top performers. No incentives to perform! They pay about 2% cost of living increase only, regardless of your performance.

Pros

Good benefits (minus a weak retirement plan). Reviews were on time and mostly fair and raises were given accordingly.

Cons

No employee development of skills or hope of advancement. We were encouraged to look for employment elsewhere, even job announcements were shared with us. There was very little encouragement to get certifications, more education or to acquire new skills. The aged management in the Environmental Health Division only expressed concern over budgets and saving face after an employee satisfaction survey which was ultimately used against us. Do not go to work here if you are serious about public health.
