Wonderful Position

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Pierce County tends to be very inclusive and reasonable in expectations. The benefits and compensation are wonderful and most county employees are excellent people.

Cons

The bureaucracy of a government organization by law and sometimes by politics can trifle talent and opportunities. Busy work may be assigned that does not add value and will ultimately not be completed. Policies and process hamper great ideas from progressing in a reasonable timeframe. Some employees have taken too much advantage of this while this frustrates those who want to provide excellent public service.
