Pros

Looks good on a résumé.

Cons

I worked with the Marion County IT Department for many years. Have you ever heard the old saying “never ask how the sausage is made”? That applies here. As I rose through the ranks in the department and began to work more closely with Marion County IT Leadership I became increasingly disenfranchised and discouraged. I’m not even sure where to begin. During my tenure at Marion County I witnessed management bullying both supervisors and line staff. Opinions are not listened to and if you are not fully “drinking the koolaid” then prepare to have a target on your back. Hard-work is not recognized, nor is it rewarded. I was part of a hiring panel in which a candidate was rejected because he was “too smart” and they wanted somebody who would “tow the company line and not rock the boat.” That should tell you all that you need to know about this place. Go work for the State instead. The pay is better.

Pros

Co-workers are professional and supportive

Cons

Commissioners are trying to negotiate a 0% cost of living increase for the next two years. Budget is reliant on tax dollars so it is always a fight to get the tools needed to do the work.
