Discouraged - Program Assistant El Dorado County Employee Review

Pros

Job security, and meaningful work.

Cons

Once you top out on your pay increase steps don’t expect to get any raises unless you plan on continually promoting. I’ve been topped out for the last 5 years, the county has given a couple measly 2% “raises” which don’t even cover the yearly increase of your health insurance. I literally make $18 less a month now than I did last year. The BOS refuses to invest any more than the bare minimum to their employees who are providing difficult direct client care and so much more.

Pros

Most coworkers are great and the work is satisfying and rewarding. Healthy work life balance. Easy to take time off.

Cons

-pay is not super competitive and caps out pretty quickly leaving you with no room for growth -promotional opportunities are somewhat rare - some management is unprofessional and seems untrained and frequently engages in behaviors that are sometimes just annoying and sometimes borderline unethical (caustic verbal interactions with staff, sarcastic answers to genuine questions, belittling and insulting staff, micromanagement, at one point upset that staff talked about their pay, etc).
