Davis County Government

I once had a image in my mind that law enforcement, whether corrections or patrol, would hold strong values like integrity.  I was completely wrong!  The Corrections Devision at Davis County was highly toxic.  The supervisors, deputies, and civilian staff would constantly lie to make themselves look better or to not get in trouble.  The sheriff sweeps problems under the rug, which some problems are in litigation still due to deaths of inmates.  No one is held accountable for their actions there.  The list goes on.  You get no say so in your schedule and it was very rigid.  Work schedule was 3 months day shift, 3 months night shift rotating.  Pay is not competitive to other agencies either.  All I was left with at the end of my employment there was a permanent injury to my back which a certain supervisor chose to become a neurosurgeon overnight and claim my injury was fake (without talking to me about it) and I didn’t need a spinal fusion done to fix what had happened in Defensive Tactics Instructor Training.  I also was told more people became neurosurgeons after I quit and made up strange stories about my personal life.  Now I have a completely different perspective for law enforcement…

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with patrons and staff as well. Communication between staff and admin is good. Our admin team has a very positive approach to bringing in the latest in library tech to help serve patrons more efficiently. Also, Davis County makes community outreach a priority.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
While communication is good overall, sometimes there are breakdowns in communication and that is very frustrating. Sometimes working with the public can be frustrating as well when dealing with difficult patrons and employees don't always have enough support from admin.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment at Davis County is very positive and community oriented. Admin does a good job overall of supporting their employees and serving their community well.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pleasantly busy with positive interactions between staff and the patrons.

Davis County government is a great place to work. It has very competitive benefits and a fair compensation system. We have a job security and regular pay increases in line with the cost of living increases. We also have a pay-for-performance system that not very many public employers have these days. During the COVID worksite closures and uncertainties the county did not lay off anyone and actually helped the most vulnerable employees. I am proud to be a part of the Davis County team of public servants. 

The Davis County government organization is a great place to work. The leadership is genuinely concerned and focused on providing the best work environment, culture and fair market compensation that they can, while providing the best services to the county citizens. Overall it is really a tremendous organization!

Very efficient place to work. Work is managed very well and tasks get done in a timely manner. Managers expect everything to be done perfectly down to the smallest detail and it makes for a very stressful work environment, it is very fun but I could do without as many threats of write ups for small details that slip through the cracks. I've been in the industry for 5 years and have never been threatened like this in any other position.

Loved working here. Not a fast pace environment. Working for someone that’s elected was new to me. Basically everybody kissed up to that person. The assessor basically has all the power. It’s best to stay under the radar from that person the best you can. Especially for your 1st 6 months.

I worked here for just y see three years. The people you work directly with are amazing people. The pay is low for what the job intel. My direct supervisors were amazing. They stuck with there people. The job is demanding with little reward(specifically working with the inmates). I enjoyed my time there and grew more than I could have any were else.

Great leadership and culture at Davis County. 

Training opportunities and room for growth.  

Additionally, full pension benefits and a 4% 401k match along with yearly performance increases up to 3.5%

High quality employees with a desire and motivation to serve the public.



Davis County is a great place to work. All the employees I've interacted with are cordial, professional and interested in seeing everyone succeed.  There are great benefits, including vacation and sick leave, paid Holidays and affordable health and dental coverage.

Overall my work experience with Davis County Gov was fine, I did though find that funds/budgets were not satisfactory for the demand, and there was a misuse of funds. Management was unreliable to the needs and concerns of the maintenance needs,
