why - Anonymous employee Los Angeles County Employee Review

Great Benefits. Telework Options. 4/40 or 9/80 options. Career advancement opportunities.

A lot of competition and lengthy employment application process.

Great place to learn as a nurse and serve the community. Generally good camaraderie amongst staff. Good job stability and good benefits despite lower hourly pay than other top hospitals in the area.

Things are tightening up with ongoing reports of the "budget crisis." The working environment greatly varies by manager. You don't pay into social security, so many staff who work many years at the county feel "handcuffed" here because of the retirement benefits.
