Yuma County, AZ

Was employed as a Detention Officer for two years.  Work wise it was a great job - I felt like I was making a difference in my community, the training was very thorough, most of my coworkers were very dedicated and knowledgeable about the job.  Benefits and retirement were pretty good, great vacation time and opportunities for overtime.  It was a job I really felt I was good at, a decent paying job that allowed me to support my family, and one that I thought would be a gateway to a great law enforcement career.

None of this came to reality because I discovered that the supervisory staff from the captain on down are the most selfserving, hawkish, anti-employee group I've ever dealt with.  I watched employees be terminated for the most rediculous reasons while within their one year probationary period.  I witnessed ten year veterans be forced to fight for their job over the weakest of accusations.  I saw career officers be laid off over 'health concerns' so that the department wouldn't have to pay full retirement benefits to a man who had given his entire working life to them.

A typical day at work involves attending court proceedings recording cases, then returning and working on your paperwork and preparing minute entries. The difference between various cases and when and how to use the correct terminology for each case. Most of my co-workers were great and very helpful. The hardest part of my job was not showing emotion during a trying or emotional domestic case. The most enjoyable part of my job was feeling like I belonged to a part of a group of great people who were making a difference in the lives of others.

The entire building was stressful the hostile work environment the no motivation from anyone horrible experience would not recommend this place to my worst enemy

Horrible, I cried everyday but I had bills so I had to go in everyday knowing I would be miserable.  Lots of bullies starting with the so called Supervisor was no help, no camaraderie. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
AWFUL, disgusting, hated it I have PTSD from that place

I would recommend Yuma County but only certain departments.  Poor management starts at the top. Some Department heads are allowed to pick and choose what policies apply to them.  Even when brought to County Administration and there is wrong doing, nothing changed.  With a new County Administrator, hopefully the good ol boy system will be put in the past. Yuma is growing, firm, fair and consistent is needed regardless of the position you hold.  This should apply to those appointed as well.

Review deeds before a recording process begins.  This to identify is an exemption code, notary stamp, signature and legal description.  Record various deeds from warranty deeds to judgments. Assisting in inputting the information obtained from the various deeds that are recorded before the deeds to submitted to the Assessors Office to update in ownership information for taxation purposes.

I was new at my position but I pride myself as a fast learner. When I was promoted I was slowly learning my new roles as well as training my the trainee that took over my previous position. There may be days where you may have to pick up some work loads of absent coworkers or complete the tasks of your coworkers that are needing your assistance, but we always worked as a team.

I had a varied work schedule.  I had a greatly varied work schedule.  We implemented a customer service training for all employees and everyone was asked their opinion.

Yuma County is a very close nit work environment, you feel like everone you work with is family.
I most enjoyed working with all the different agencies such as Boader Patrol, Keep America Beautiful, Mexico on keeping the boarder clean, those are just a few. It was the most interesting of all my jobs.

Great to be able to interact directly with the citizens of Yuma. Exposure to a dynamic that included both ends of the spectrum was very much a learning opportunity.  Hardest part of the job was the low pay, which is to be expected from such a small community with very little opportunity. The most enjoyable part of my job is the friendships and contacts I have made.

The administration likes to micro manage everything. They have no clue what they are doing. Everything is based on favoritism. Especially when it comes to the security and well being of the Court House.
