WAYNE COUNTY GOVERNMENT

It's not surprising that the County of Wayne holds a rating of 2.8...it should definitely be lower. The turnover rate is astronomical for a municipal profession and it doesn't seem to be getting better. The pay and financial growth is nonexistent (I'm sure they have the union in their back pocket), the management is ill-equipped to lead a team of toddlers and the morale is down right depression personified. I feel for those who have weathered the storm for 10+ years but it's time for someone to actually turn a magnifying glass on that place and start to usher in some real change. It's not fair to the employees or the citizens of Wayne County what that have to endure on a daily basis!

A large county with the City of Detroit as it's hub. It includes several other townships and cities with diverse cultures. Wayne County employees serve the public to make the county a great place to live, work and visit. 
Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Over 3 professional golf courses including 1 with an "up north" feel. This is the home of legendary sports teams such as the Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, Lions and Pistons. Wayne County is home to several universities and community colleges.
It is a great place to work offering wonderful benefits, health insurance, PTO, retirement, holidays.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff was welcome and professional.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The review of case files as we worked to clear up back logging.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I found the environment to have a traditional office setting, the staff was openly available and attire was semi professional at times. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day consisted of signing in to workstation, data entry, filing, reporting updates of workloads and meeting to address updates pertaining to  casework loads.

I enjoy my position with Wayne County Government.  This positions allows me to encourage offenders to change behaviors while being a positive role model, to those wanting to change, and allows them to have a positive experience on their re-entry into the community.  I have learned to effectively use reward and sanctions with offenders.  The bond with my co-workers makes the work place more enjoyable.  The most enjoyable part of this position, for me, is the interaction positive interactions with my clients.

The work load was not overwhelming or hard, if you had mastered the tasks you were assigned. Years ago, Wayne County was recognized as a good and stable place to work, where you eventually could retire with a decent pension.  However, over the years, that has changed considerably. I enjoyed working with my co-workers, who were dedicated and supportive of each other. I would contend that the hardest part working at Wayne County was the constant change. Employees, who had years of service started retiring due to budget cuts and politics.

County jobs were once highly sought after for their security and benefits. The environment is very hostile and a host to favoritism. The benefits are unaffordable and unusable. I have to use my yearly "Bonus" to put into my HSA just to cover my astronomical deductible. Neighboring counties offer thousands per year for employees to further their education and grow their families, but Wayne County is nothing like that.

A typical day at work for me is this: Professional at all times. Servicing the customers needs in a timely manner. Perservere to make sure the customer is informed , educated and satisfieed. 

     You must follow the mangement rules right to the book. Management has many tasks, covers everything. The hardest part of the job is when you dont ask for help when needed.  The most enjoyable part of the job is when the customer is happy and satisfied.

What is the best part of working at the company?
As a C.O., the entire staff. From the fellow C.O.s to the LTs to the Warden. All have been helpful and excellent 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

Excellent,fellow C.O.s don't leave you in the dark 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 hours of fun for all,muster,assignments,then begin

Decent pay, but bottom of the barrel in terms of what you could make anywhere else. Availability of overtime, sounds amazing until you realize your being mandated to work more than you can handle. You’ll be working for a department that doesn’t value employee morale. Would recommend working if your planning on being here short term and you do not have a family or life outside of work. More stress will be added onto your daily duties by the decision and malpractices of management.

treat you like trash, pay you like poverty level wages and expect you to bust you butt just to get ordered to the next shift several time a week. supervisors are not people who worked in a jail setting and make rules that do not make sense then want you to kiss their butt! wayne county has been robbed of so much, that there is nothing good left to offer.....go elsewhere unless you just want to say you worked as a police officer and that is if youre already certified!
