Shasta County Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Shasta County part-time for more than a year

Pros – Great coworkers, flexible hours for a student

Cons – Minimum wage, no benefits, drama

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Shasta County full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Being a government job its a secure postion and there is opportunity for advancement if you fit in and know what you are doing.

Cons – Very Clicky, government is adverse to change and runs at a snails pace which makes innovation and change very difficult. Government is risk-adverse and employees are afraid of making mistake and there is alot of CYA going on or blaming somone else. Morale is not very good.

Advice to Senior Management – Wow! Where do I start....Communication is not very good between upper management and those below so they need to fix that. Also Managment should help with morale bring inspiration to the work place tell people they are doing a good job make it a place where people want to go to work not just some 9 to 5 job where you collect a paycheck. Where there is a lack of vision the people perish. Alot of employees are adverse to taking the lead or promoting a new idea as that is not enouraged within managment. There is alot of dead weight in the lower job functions as well but thats another question.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Shasta County

Pros – It is one of the top paying organizations in this area,

Cons – They are not supportive of line staff, two many superviors with large salaries who do little

Advice to Senior Management – Restore the money and benefits taken from the line staff, 6 percent of pay, required to pay our retirement in full whereas county paid in past, these deductions were suppose to be temporary now they are permanent, Quit hiring positions that are high salary, we have way to many supervisors. Recongize senority not who socializes better with management, get rid of the good ol boys network and their power and control. Lets become like most counties professional and to serve the people, not themselves.

Current Employee – been working at Shasta County

Pros – The work has been interesting, the opportunities good, management is receptive to ideas and concerns and within the Department there is a very positive work environment.

Cons – It is government so don't go in thinking you will change everything. Understand that government agencies must function differently from private firms. Take the not so good with the good and understand that things could be so much worse.

Advice to Senior Management – Within my Department I am very satisfied. I have heard some dissatisfaction from other Departments, but I can't speak to that.
