I had one interview with them and I was more than qualified since I prior experience and college education to back it up. They said they found more qualified candidates which I highly doubt. I know somebody that worked there for a brief short of time I found out they only hire friends and family. And she said it was a miserable experience there, they only give acknowledgment to the same people over and over while others are ignored or slowly pushed out by management because they made him feel so uncomfortable to be there. I swear I've gotten more rejection letters than actually applying for applications there. 
Every time I go to this library as a patron, the staff give me attitude and they never check in my items that I returned. I have to find them off the shelf and then ask them to check it in manually. I've had a horrible experience just being a patron there. They offer low wages and poor management. 

Great place to work. But make sure your in good standing with some bosses, or be prepared to be the red headed step child. Other employees will complain to you about how they are over worked, when in fact they are not, they just let work build up and when it collapses that's when the sob starts.  Sometimes its a work off complaints type situation, which is very unfortunate. Co workers can be a bit lazy and have sand in the head some days. Room to move up of course, just don't expect it to be often, some are cherry picked for positions, some actually work there tails off and are able to move up. Education is key!  Don't expect to move up if your not pushing to be a better you. Also if your a young individual with kids and need certain scheduling, some positions may not be able to work with ya 100% but will get pretty close to what you want. 

Worked for the road and bridge dept. What a joke. The management there was like the blind leading the blind. When a storm comes in or flooding happens, they are notorious for putting out thousands of cones and moving them every 10 minutes, because they have no idea what they are doing. It's no wonder the same areas flood year after year and nothing gets fixed. If you suck up to the supervisors, they may take care of you, however they can only take care of you so far. To work on a road crew or any division of the road and bridge crew for around $12 an hour in this heat is a joke. And don't rely on the union stewards to do anything for you, most of them are in bed with the supervisors. If you get assigned to the sign shop you might do ok because the supervisor there only cares about when his next meal is and watching TV all day.. Good luck.

It was a good place to find job security. However with the housing collapse and resulting lost tax revenue, annual reviews remained but pays were frozen for the last 4 or so years i was living there. But serving the maintenance techs. and the citizenry was fun and rewarding. The guys were all good people to work for as was the office staff. We felt appreciated. Had a lunch room. It was close to my home. Florida weather was mild but HOT in summer. We prepped for any hurricane disaters that came our way and were assigned to disaster teams. Thankfully never needed it. We had annual classes on First Aid, Bloodborne pathogens, Defensive Driving, CPR etc, etc,
Hardest part of the job was the summer heat in non AC areas. Most enjoyable was my co-workers. Management was so so.

Pasco County wants to head in the right direction, focusing on a culture shift towards transparency and process improvement. Unfortunately, these changes are not being communicated or implemented uniformly, leading to several departments and divisions being treated vastly different from one another when it comes to management, culture, and work-life balance. Your experience here will largely depend on who your immediate supervisor is.
There are excellent opportunities and resources to learn and advance your skill sets, including an in-house Degree Alternative Program and a Leadership Development Program. Take advantage of all the free resources of your local government in addition to attending many meetings and conferences for networking and industry knowledge building.

Dispatching for Pasco county is a very good money earner but that's where the benefits stop. No one can be trusted. Everyone is out to get everyone else. People you think you can trust are the first to throw you under the bus. The money is great but not worth the drama. They do not allow employees to take their deserved hour lunch most shifts (12.25 hours per shift) because they are so vastly understaffed. They mandate overtime so often that it is nearly impossible to raise a family. Think long and hard before making a commitment to this agency. If you have no life and just want money then it's the job for you.

Dealing with the public is never easy; however, the true sharks swim on the other side of the counter.  The continuous back stabbing among coworkers is exhausting to endure.  Workloads are piled on the "stronger" individuals while the weak are coddled.  Bring your own self-motivation because any inspiration from leadership is nonexistent.  Raises are not guaranteed, regardless of how hard one works, and if raises are awarded they are equal across all employees.

I wanted to enjoy my time as a Pasco County employee, but it is a chronically understaffed organization (meaning that each employee's workload is at least double what it should be). Salaries are very low, as is the morale overall. My former co-workers and I worked hard, but we were rarely rewarded or even recognized for our efforts. Until salaries match the workloads or workloads are decreased to reflect the salary, I cannot recommend this organization. 

Technicians are great. Management could be better and that's the case almost everywhere. More emphasize needs to be put on quality of work, not just hurry up and get it done. I feel the the pay is way below par for what the technicians are required to do. Working on buses and other heavy equipment yet being paid peanuts for the expertise these technicians bring to the table. Pay raises should be effective immediately. As a technician with over 10 years experience on Heavy Equipment, this is the lowest paying job I've ever had. Sad but true.

Management is not involved in day to day operations. There does not exist a common goal or mission from management and there is very little support or feedback for employees. Because of the lack of leadership, there is a lot of talk about and between coworkers. People are not unified and there is no team work.

Systems put in placed will change from day to day, or week to week. There's really no point in learning how to do something a certain way, because the procedures won't stay in place for very long.
