Pros

Pay was decent, hours were good, great benefits, HR was good, and felt good about what I was doing.

Cons

You will do the work of 3 people and not be thanked for it. As long as i was getting paid, this wasnt too big of a deal. The department supervisors do not care about their employees. Got into trouble for using accumulated sick leave for medical appointments for a disability I communicated I had during the interview, supervisor admonished me but HR had my back, I decided to leave anyway - couldn't be around that. Also, I honestly don't miss any of the attorneys...well maybe one, the rest' s personalities left something to be desired.

Extra Help Employees at Solano County are not welcome

Elections clerk - extra help

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Union positions. Union negotiates salary increases. Good compensation compared to fast food restaurants

Cons

Some positions are "extra help" and get only a fraction of the benefits of regular employees. Not much chance for advancement. My manager after working in the same department full time for 8 years, cut all the extra help employees from 8 to 4 hours per day. No performance evaluations or merit salary increases.
