What is the best part of working at the company?
The elderly that come in asking questions or needing help were a delight to work for and help direct them to the services needed.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
How co-workers made you feel unwelcome here. I was new to this town and when I said where I worked the reputation this location got was called "the crazy fun house." They tell you when you first start not to worry about asking questions, but when you did they made you feel as if you were putting them out for asking them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I was there the environment was tense, people back bite and talk behind your back. Very passive aggressive behaviors from management. The job wasn't hard but those who had tenure really took advantage of there positions. Truly is all about who you know at this place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answered phones calls, help customers when they come to the counter, sort mail, verify and file applications  for exemptions.

The training here was very minimal which didn't give me the confidence I needed in order to do my job well and excel in my job. The caseloads were high and a lot of it was focused around quantity and not quality which is not an approach that should be taken when working with people on probation. The team and managers were not very welcoming and didn't seem to want to help when support was needed. Very difficult to get to higher ranks here because applications are taken based on seniority. Managers played favorites in this department which added to the feelings of being uncomfortable. 

Emergency management staff is exceptional and provides sound, well versed, best practices in application of emergency management principles and processes.
Daily routine is full, continuous work on all phases of emergency management and grants management.
Knowledge that is disseminated from the Director of the office is outstanding and practical. emphasis is placed on individual development and evolution toward personal goals.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We work in bipartisan teams.  And everyday is different from the last.

Things may be different now with changes in elected officials, county manager, and county attorneys.

It was (still is?) a "good ol' boys club" that's frequently under scrutiny by state officials and media.

Leadership had no problem making life-affecting changes for residents and staff without due diligence.  High satisfaction with the status quo and slow to consider changes/improvements.  They eventually catch up - but they never lead - waiting for other counties to "go first."

I was employed with Yavapai County Government for nine years. I started in an entry-level position and worked my way up the ranks. There are few companies that will let you move about so freely. I really built my career there and hated to leave. Good coworkers, good benefits, and good opportunities.
