Knox County Government

In my department, there's so many empty promises and false follow ups. There's very little staff actually available to do the work they keep piling on. We've been saying that for months, and management kept telling they would replace the many people we had prior. What everyone doesn't know, is that someone in upper management mixed the numbers and they can't pay for staff to work excess hours let alone hire anyone else. There's no true leader there anymore and there's too much backstabbing, lies, and downright confusion to get anything done. There's no one who actually knows what's happening and what to do, they're busy spending money that's not there on items not needed when staffing is going to help the solution. The hardest part is watching everything unfold for the worst and not being able to truly do anything because they act like they can't change or make noise about shortcomings, which there's a lot of. 

Always check balancing property records. Task would vary depending on the time of year. Tax collections, certificate of errors, tax reporting, balancing, and distribution. Producing reports for various vendors and attorneys. I learned a long time ago with State code changes you never stop learning.  Co-workers are very friendly.
The process of receiving State approval to distribute tax collections was very rewarding. Along with meeting deadlines.

Management in the department I was employed was very unfair. The department head was moody, and took their personal feeling out on all employees in that department. If you were on the good list (making that person look good) you were ok for the day. But if something happened that made this person have to explain their selves, then you made the bad list. And once you are on that list you very seldom get off. They play games. Things are hidden, moved, and acting like children. It was not a job is was a nursery.

I wish management took care of great employees instead of trying to please all of them.  I was told by my director that the fact I got to keep my job during covid was a blessing.  It was a government job with good retirement and benefits and that's about all to say about it.

I would recommend this employer to whom ever wanted a stable and productive career.The opportunity for improvement and advancement is up to you, I have the highest regard for the leadership and employees that work for Knox County.

Wonderful experience. Would recommend to anyone looking to be a public servant and wanting to help our comminity. I would not recommend these jobs to anyone who cannot handle fast paced, stressful working environments. Also not for the faint hearted. Need to have outgoing personality, kind/warm heart and able to empathize/sympathize with others.

1.  Never miss job; always available when called
2.  I learned how to manage my task alone. instead being supervised    
     on every hour.
3.  I manage detainees in the cell; and allocate for them daily 
     activities, including game time, outings, and lunch time.

Very stressful, have to watch closely detainees for movement and actions,these juveniles will try anything if your back is turned. I have worked for Knox county for 8 year and not been given decent pay raises.

Worse government job ever! Management will send you different branches during my training and all cover their own backsides! Trainees make a mistake it’s bad but long time employees makes same mistake “fixed” or covered up.

If you don't fit into their culture, you won't last long. Lots of nepotism.
The employees break up into cliques and gang up on others. Its like a reality show. The taxpayers of Knox County deserve better!
