Great employer

Division manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pro-worker leadership from Commissioners Court and the best retirement.

Cons

Some pay inequity for employees who have been with the county for awhile whose compensation is based on older pay scales and matrices. Hybrid schedules are decided by each Director so many employees are not allowed to enjoy this employer benefit while others do even if they are in positions where they can perform their duties from home.
