Pros
Excellent benefits and focus on work-life balance. Lots of paid holidays and time off (even for new employees.) Stand-up senior leadership with great values. The ability to work each day with purpose and be an integral part of a beautiful community. After being a part of the Sarasota County team for six years, I couldn't imagine finding a better place to work.
Cons
Differing cultures in each department. That being said, departments still work well together, and at the end of the day, all 2100 employees come together as One Team.
Advice to Management
Less hierarchy, more boots on the ground approach.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Sarasota County Government full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
life work balance, benefits, training.
Cons
Dishonest and unethical leadership at senior and admin levels. HR dept. is inept and disfunctional at all levels. Culture is poor with racial undertones and with poor integrity rewarded.
Advice to Management
Live what you preach, become ethical in all dealings and become better stewards of the tax dollars.

I am sorry you had a negative experience. County leadership and the Human Resources Department are under new management which has recently led to a very positive culture shift within the organization.
