Baltimore County, MD reviews about "pension"

Inconsistent management Limited accountability Slow processes Limited recognition for strong performance

Low employee morale Pay is artificially low Disconnect between leadership and departments

Narrrow-minded management; good old boy network is still in place; for some jobs, salaries are not competitive; the new retirement plan requires working for 35 years to get a full pension; if you want to work for Baltimore County, try the school system or the community college as the salaries are better across the board

Being a local government, cuts corners to save money

Most salaries are no longer competitive with the private sector or the federal govt. Many poorly trained managers and supervisors who don't know how to communicate with employees or how to resolve issues; employees are treated like children Depending upon the department, the workload can be very unreasonable It helps to be related to the right people or politically connected. Practices in many fields are not leading-edge and have fallen behind benchmark employers. If you stay your skills will atrophy.

Very little communication and inconsistency between shifts adhering to policy. 12 hour shifts (7am-7pm & 7pm-7am), rotating every 17 weeks. Can be difficult on your body & home life switching back and forth.

Staffing is poor so there's a lot of work for those who remain.
