Pros

The opportunity to work with youth and their families to provide guidance and hope for positive community relations and personal achievement

Cons

The Administration/Management group are the sole contributors to very poor and demoralizing morale among court staff including probation and dependency. The obvious lack of leadership skills and unwillingness to make positive and desperately needed change based on staff concerns/needs is detrimental to the motivation of staff to go above and beyond to meet the needs of the youth, families, and community. Consensus among the majority of current and former staff is complete dissatistfaction with the "place and environment we work in" despite a "true love and passion for the work we do." This dissatisfaction is 100% attributed to a poor and incapable administrative/management group.

Pros

There are great benefits to working for Pierce County Parks and Rec. I would say that the best part is that we are a very small portion of the county so we are all very close and like a family.

Cons

Because we are so close, there also seems to be a lot of nepotism.
