Pros

Once you make probation, you're pretty solid unless you mess up horrifically (...and I've seen some people do that and still stick around a long time). Also, after you've made probation in one position, if you take another County job it's only 6 months probation.

Cons

The benefits and the pay pretty much suck, but compared to anything else in the county, it's all right. Depends on your department though; I think DESS is hell, but other places aren't so bad. Also, the county is pretty rife with nepotism (they like to pretend otherwise, but... yeah.)

Pros

The work we actually do is rewarding

Cons

Management creates an extremely toxic work environment. Supervisors have a short temper, poor communication skills and are very condescending. Any concerns that are raised are quickly dismissed. Even when 4 formal complaints from different employees are filed against the same Supervisor, the County will just dismiss the complaints.
