Pros

If you have deep root in Pierce County and all you care is relative job security, then this is a good place for you.

Cons

The management, including the county level, is very tightly knitted, particularly the IT/Software department. If you are there long enough, then you'll discover the management teams are all related to each other. As a result, they always let highly capable people leave, so they can keep enough head count. Therefore if you are a minority or female, my advice to you is do not think you can be there for long-term!
