Pros

Good benefits, especially retirement. Pay meets average for area which is unusual for a government employer. The County as whole pays good attention to their employees. They want to move forward with their processes as best as possible.

Cons

All of these comments refer only to my department that seems to still be in the 1900s. They also seem to condone dishonesty with respect to other employees, which bothers me. They want things to be as they have always been and not improve. It is inherent with the type of department in which I work. However, in some areas they actually excel compared to peer agencies.

Pros

Very stable once you're onboarded

Cons

No merit increases and only occasional cost of living increases. Since I've been here my raises have been offset by rising insurance costs.
