Business Outlook

Pros

Work was great and the people were friendly, helpful and easy to work with. I worked at the County for 27 years before retiring in 2009.

Cons

This was an extra-help temp. position. I loved the work and it was in the area I worked in previously so very little training was required.

Pros

Good salary, good benefits, diverse workplace. Great opportunity to get your foot in the door for a stable job. Job security, essentially unfireable. Seriously. Solano county employee are like zombies, they never die. Always come back, union always find a way. Strong union, I guess. Good, in a way. Really terrible in a lot of other ways...particularly if you are an honest, decent, hard working employer. Oh I'm sorry, am I edging into the cons territory?

Cons

Politics, forced to pay union dues for a union that prefers to promote politicians and NOT represent employees. Union only represents their own with selfish interests. Management is terrible, highly disorganized. Lazy workers, lax supervising. Low morale & frustration. Equal pay without individual merit.
