CHARLES COUNTY GOVERNMENT

Pros
-Generous amount of time off/holiday's with pay
-Good benefits, pension/medical/dental 
-County job so the work load is manageable most days

Cons
-poor upper level management
-lack of communication on every level
-low starting pay (In general your pay won't be enough to pay your bills for about the first 10 years depending where you start)
-lack of any formal training 
-low moral

In general my advice would be, 1- Get a few years in and move on almost every other company/Gov. Agency will pay higher and have better training opportunities if you want to stay in this career field. It's common knowledge that working here is a training ground for blue plains/DC water. Take that as you will. 2-Be careful who you trust and spread information too, as word travels like wildfire. 3- after your probation period (1 year) keep a close eye on other opportunities within charles county as very select few will advocate for you to promot. Side note -once you are hired you won't be told but you cannot move to another position for a minimum of 6 months even if you are over qualified for Said position. 
In general It's not a bad place to work, if you are just getting into this field it will give you a taste of what you should expect for the rest of your professional career. 

Upon commencing each workday, my responsibilities included opening both the office and warehouse, initializing my computer system, and reviewing all pertinent notes and orders. Subsequently, I would procure automotive parts for technicians and construction materials for the Road Division from various vendors, including Napa, Advanced Auto, and Atlantic Tractor, among over 200 suppliers. Throughout the day, I assisted customers in the warehouse by issuing parts and materials to the Roads Division, Parks Division, and Building Management. Additionally, I would periodically collect materials for warehouse stock and utilized forklifts for restocking. During my tenure, I gained expertise in inventory control and cultivated a strong understanding of the importance of customer service, as well as the daily dynamics of teamwork and maintaining a psychologically safe work environment. The most rewarding aspect of my role was providing customer service and assisting individuals in beginning their workday.

Pay is fair, compared to other counties though, rather low. Advancement is slim to none, it all depends on who you know even if you're already employed with them. Benefits are great and the 14 paid holidays are like none other. Have a bit of a reputation when it comes to culture and race..and they live up to their reputation.

I'm just biding my time until I retire.  This is the most toxic, venemous, corrupt, hostile work environment I have ever worked in!!  Managers do whatever they want and there are no repercussions.  But if you report anything to HR, they rat you out and you're retaliated against.  HR is NOT an advocate for employees, and the people there cannot be trusted!  Many employees have learned that the hard way, because the director and assistant director in HR jammed them up.  We are actively working on unionizing for this very reason.  The County treats its employees like disposable garbage!  DO NOT work there unless you just want to short-time it until something better comes along!

I was hired for a position that was new. Sat at a desk 7.5 hours with no work to do. Was told that would change. Was kind to everyone and constantly asked my coworkers to let me know if I was needed for help in their department just to keep busy. I was then told not to do that because “it shows I’m not busy”. It was the longest days ever. The office was very clickish! If you weren’t apart of their group you were treated as an out cast. Was let go with no explanation.

as the summary title dictates, there is almost no career advancement available at Charles County Government. Salary for similar jobs in neighboring counties are almost 3 percent higher. unfair wages and no opportunity to advance in a job is something I wouldn't sign up for.

Great staff for demographic changing community. Work I perform is very satisfying in that I participate in obtaining Commissioners goals and objectives while serving the citizens of this County.

They have a lot of seasonal workers with experience that they do not give and opportunity to become full time to do all there work and you never see there full time employees work at all 

The job has its moments when it gets tough or when it is slow paced like every other job. The job is for community services. We make sure our programs are good, entertaining, and appealing to the eye of the community.
