Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at City of Houston (More than 3 years)
Pros
An attempt at competitive pay and great benefits.
Cons
Understaffed, odd working hours, limited work as an actual dietitian. Mostly management work.
Advice to Management
Value your dietitians more. We work very hard to obtain this title and to be viewed as just another employee or nutritionists is very discouraging and disheartening.

Pros
This is a very stable place to work as there are virtually no layoffs. They pay me money. All new hires start in Group D = <30 of you final salary for a pension.
Cons
The good ole boy system is still in place as promotions are based on relationships. Innovators are punished and old school processes are favored over innovative steps.
Advice to Management
Hire someone to review the hiring and promotions practices to make them more competitive.
