CABARRUS COUNTY

Enjoyed the job of Transportation Driver, and helping others to their appointments whom did not have a car. Enjoyed the clients, and the hours I worked. The scheduling of routes, management, and care for their employees I think could really use some improvement. The benefits were way to expensive and the amount of co payment before the insurance paid was way to high. This department only do I have an opinion of. I have worked in several different Cabarrus County positions as School Bus Driver, Volunteer Teacher Assistant, and Child Nutrition and enjoyed my job and the people.

active Living and Parks is the lowest level of employment at Cabarrus County. The part time and seasonal employees are mostly to thank for the clean parks as they are more of custodians than they are Rangers. Being on the low end of the poll do not expect much communication from anyone above you. They give you tasks in emails and if you work another job and miss the tasks completion time frame then you will be out of a job.. you are expendable and they will have high turnover as a result of their poor communication and mismanagement. I do not recommend working in this department.

Great co-workers and okay user base. Decent health benefits, pension, and a generous 401k match. Spend most of the day juggling phone calls, emails, and chat messages. 

On-call expected about once a month (week long rotating schedule supporting patrol cars, EMS, jail, library, etc.). Lack of knowledge base and no documentation of past issues/solutions can be frustrating. Horrible Cherwell ticket system. 

Department of human services has high turnover meaning you'll be dealing with issues over there constantly. Non-IT related phone calls/emails from the general public are funneled through the help desk line which means you'll be handling a lot of that too.  





  

What is the best part of working at the company?
They'll offer you a ton of money because they're desperate for workers due to extraordinarily high turnover at all levels. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Training is rushed, inconsistent, and incomplete. You're expected to learn as you go, but unfortunately everyone else is too overworked and overwhelmed to take the time to teach you as you go. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Low morale, consistently grumpy people, and a "do as I say, not as I do" management style.

A typical work day would include shelving books that were returned. Organize sections of library. Help kids and adults with finding the right book for them. I learned a great deal of organization skills and computer skills as well as management and responsibility. The management was friendly and easy going. The hardest part of job would be to find the perfect book for researchers. The most enjoyable part of my job was to experience all the books I came across. 

Never have I worked for a company who micromanage as much . The supervisors has to get approval from program managers before making decisions. They only give $50 for on call. Also , they MAKE you volunteer for tasks, by constantly asking. The legal team sucks as well ..it’s as if Cabarrus works under them . The supervisors are afraid to speak up for the staff . BEWARE the stress will effect you mentally and physically . 

I was only employed here for 4 months. The dept I worked in was full of older to elderly ladies, that had been with the company 10+yrs. It was very difficult to meet their expectations of perfection when this was first time in a position like such. At the end of my employment I was terminated because they felt like I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the work though I was completing all of my work before the rest of my team. 

Management is incompetent and unwilling to accept new ideas.  Feedback on our job performance is non-existent.  Most of the employees are not properly trained for their positions and wrong people are being groomed for management. I would not encourage my worst enemy to work here.

High turnover rate. Making changes for no reason and causes people to resign. Forcing people to do multiple jobs when they were only hired to do one because of turnovers.  Management/ Administrators, Not listening staffs concerns and/or not making time until people resign, then they want to talk and try to keep you there. Work/ home life balance is almost nonexistent. Benefits are good. 

Currently the environment isn't the best morally and a lot of that has to do with the fact that they expect (managing a case load of 100 or more,reacting to changes of at least 25 or more monthly, taking and processing at least 15 applications a month, taking calls as back up for call center) to much for not even $40,000 a year after being there several years.
