Pros

1) Healthcare benefits. 2) I like my chair. 3) Good to work at for a year or less to get some experience. Do not stay longer than five years or they will suck you in until you retire.

Cons

Oh, where to begin??? 1) Management/supervisors are like the mean girls from the movie Mean Girls, even if they’re men. 2) Management/supervisors are frequently in their position because they know someone who knows someone. No one that I’ve ever known was there because they worked hard to get there. One was a temp for a few months, then was suddenly a manager. That person had zero management experience and it showed in all that they did. Overbearing micromanaging, screaming at people, and acting like a total loon. Of course they were promoted. 3) Remember high school and how you graduated? Even if you didn’t graduate, you aren’t in high school anymore. Thse people in management act every day as if they did not leave high school. They love their cliques. 4) If you’re not in a clique of theirs, you don’t exist (except for when they deem you as being in trouble). I was walking side by side with a fellow employee one day and a manager walking by us said “Hi, Amanda” to that woman walking next to me but not me. 6) There is no room for advancement unless you’re in their clique.

Pros

Benefits and 18 paid holidays

Cons

The county did not want to do the work to create positive or much needed standards. The bar is set low with building standards, upper management does not have finger on pulse. Upper management also does not want to support their subordinates to make the changes needed at the team level to weed out the non-performers. I was told Allegheny County was not ready for me yet. Would taxpayers want to know that a manager was trying to get her employees to do 8 hours of work, to raise the standards and create positive change-- but was not allowed.
