New Hanover County

New Hanover County started a federally-funded program to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and compiled a decent team of public health professionals. Once the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, MPOX became an issue and we used our experience in infectious disease control and prevention to mitigate the spread of that disease. The one thing you need to be careful about is expressing personal opinions even outside of the confines of work, because they are ALL about the political game, and if you do not conform to their beliefs it will demolish any thought of continuing a career with the county.

So, in short, if you do your job and say nothing else you will go far.

County has a wonderful customer service practice. They need an employee service practice. Coworkers do not work together, constant backstabbing and gossiping. Supervisors have favorites and ignore everyone else. Upper management needs training on how to treat and value employees. If there is a coworker breaking the rules, everyone gets a message about the issue. I believe it should be addressed with that person not a general message sent around the room. I think that is very unprofessional in my opinion and causes a hostile work environment.

Answered many 911 emergency lines for 12 hours. Dispatched all emergency agencies to all type of calls. Very High paced job. Typed in all information being given by the caller and dispatched calls out to the agencies while typing and talking on the phone. Maintained several certifications related to this job. Worked with 12 others at the same time. The Job was very rewarding at times but could be very stressful also.

Beware of management! Their method of managing is using fear, threats, belittling, shaming, etc. If you question them or stand up for yourself, they will use it against you and target you. They will attack you as a person, your personality, your clothing, your weight, your medical conditions, etc. There is absolutely no job security here. You are absolutely replaceable, no matter how good you are at your job. Please beware of working here and apply at your own risk.
