Doesn't RecommendI worked at North Yorkshire County Council full-time for less than a year
Pros
I lived close by so did not incur any travelling costs to and from work.
Cons
Dire company , don’t employ agency staff so when people leave or off work with a long term illness the rest of the team have to do their work. Was there a year and saw many colleagues leave resulting in me being the longest serving member. Poor children have to cope with numerous change of workers when they need stability and familiarity at times of crisis.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at North Yorkshire County Council full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Good work/life balance through flexible working. Happy enough in own position. Not unhappy being here...
Cons
Feel undervalued at times through lack of communication/interest in current workload. Very top heavy structure with lack of interest in amount of work undertaken by staff. Don't like the hierarchies of command - very structured with little flexibility. The library culture of working in silence can be deafening.. Very little camaraderie. People come in, work in silos and go home.
