Pros

Peers are supportive. Mon-Fri banker hours are cool, with holidays off. CalPERS retirement for pension is a plus.

Cons

Terrible management and leadership in E&E division. Constantly understaffed and overworked with caseload numbers. Training department is hideous. They never train nor do they hire. The amount of communication from top to bottom is close to zero. They hardly give reasonable COLA increases. The processes and procedures for getting your work done are so outdated and cumbersome. The lack of streamlined processing and technology here is embarrassing.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Stability in having a government (County) Job and Solano County is risk averse so the chance of layoffs is very low - Work in a department that includes health and social services programs (i.e. a "superagency") - If you live in Solano County you are ~30-45 minute drive from the East Bay and Sacramento

Cons

- Very old policies and there is reluctance to update them from leadership. For example, Leadership refuses to allow Human Resources to post openings on LinkedIn. -County is very risk averse so change is slow and often by the time a change is approved you are still behind other agencies by several years. - County wants staff to stop teleworking now that the pandemic is "over"
