The management structure leaves much to be desired, often characterized by a strong emphasis on politics and conforming to specific viewpoints. The compensation offered does not adequately reflect the challenges that employees endure. Instances of concerning incidents have transpired without appropriate consequences, while minor issues have resulted in severe outcomes. The lack of consistency, proper training, and a compassionate approach to handling situations is evident.







I woke up 6 days a week. Worked from 10-6 and had sundays off. I learned how to rotate stock, unload feight, clean deep fryers, stain oil. I had to make sure that enough food was pulled for the facility and that enough was ordered. I keep track of ever thing inventory wise too know what was there and what needs ordered. I did alot of pre prep kitchen work. The facility feeds between 800-1200 people 3 times a day. I helped with lunch and dinner serving as well.

The hardest part of the job was the micromanagement and lack of empowerment  afforded to manage projects.  It takes a very long time to get a project charter and a project kickoff done now due to current standards.   

Typical day I would meet with a group of lawyers like myself.  We would discuss judges and personalities and the lawyers would give suggestions on how I might respond in order to gain favor. Then I would meet individually with the managing attorney to discuss difficulties in each case and how they could be helpful to me to be successful. 

Typical day not much, you don't get any opportunity to enhance your career. Management is a serious issue. No real culture and very political.  HR has few good people. Director has been since 1999 and no real credentials and leadership skills.

Provides opportunities to learn about the criminal justice system and how it works. Great job for someone entering a law enforcement career. Cant make a living on salary with a family due to lack of pay raises and career advancement/ladder.  Great working with Judges/Public/Attorneys/Clerks.

I learned various new skills, computer software, court rules and procedures.
Management was always available for questions.  
Opportunity for advancement and ability to relocate to other departments within the county.

Loved the work and the sense of purpose.  However, the mediation at the Courthouse is not paid and needs to be done by volunteers. It is difficult  to make a living mediating in Idaho. The work would would need to be in private industry or as self employment for a decent income.

no clear job description lots of down time, management prefers to hire non professionals who do not care about vehicles or tools . Not much room for advancement. attitude is screw it the taxpayer will buy us another one. 

I would make sure all duties were performed accurately, I would fill in for people that were unavailable to do their work duties. the work environment was very structured. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work as a team and share the satisfaction of a job well done.
