Pros

Cohesive work environment, fun/challenging work, out in the field

Cons

Department of employee relations is single handedly destroying the department. Their lack of concern over high turnover and lackluster pay studies have caused our department to lose many great employees to other municipalities. Their incompetence and lack of care for their profession is affecting departments across the city.

Pros

Their insurance is pretty comprehensive, and there's an AFSCME union you can join that can lead to some extra benefits. Plus a pension

Cons

They did a survey of other cities and found that we're being underpaid comparatively -- didn't raise our pay a bit.
