I have been working at County of Sacramento full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great starting rate, yearly raises each year for first 5 years (in addition to cost of living adjustments), FANTASTIC Medical/Dental/Vision which starts as soon as you enroll for benefits, GENEROUS paid time off which increases the longer you're an employee (400 hour vacation time maximum) in addition to lots of paid holidays, opportunity for advancement after just 1 year in the position, LOTS of different locations throughout Sacramento that could contact you for positions.
Cons
6 month probationary period (benefits start immediately), workload can vary GREATLY depending on what Department/Program you accept a position at, interviews can be intimidating.
Advice to Management
I'm a big advocate for the County of Sacramento and their leadership. However, management has a tendency to try to take some of these amazing benefits away in Union contracts. My only advice is to at the very least let us have the benefits we so greatly appreciate. Don't take anything away that we currently have. It isn't fair to those who tried so hard to get positions like these specifically for the benefits.
I worked at County of Sacramento full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Job security and paid holidays.
Cons
Limited career growth and opportunity. For those seeking to attain experience above their slotted job title / description, you'll have to do the work of others who cannot preform their job duty first for a few years. Certain arenas of IT are effectively locked out for internal employees as only IT contractors are allowed to perform these higher visibility functions.
Cost of living increase is minimal and does not keep up with inflation. Recent changes to job titles were created to specifically circumvent legacy benefits and career growth. Be advised of job title scope and limitation.
Lastly, Sacramento California should be seriously considered for its own sake. :(
Advice to Management
Recognize internal talent and provide opportunities for those who want to work rather than allow existing staff to manage products and solutions to stagnate an enterprise. Especially in IT where technology and solutions are changing minute by minute, a fresh perspective is needed and should come from more than one or two sources.
