County of San Diego Employer Reviews

The office was a fun atmosphere but could also be stressful. The County allowed a "fun" day to play games in the parking lot. We also celebrated everything with lots of potlucks. I enjoyed working with the public in establishing Medi-Cal. I got to know my clients and they got to me. I learned in five years that not one case is the same and that each – more... client has a different background and story. – less

Working at the San Diego County as a student worker with accounting technician duties really helped me to learn more about accounts recievables and payables. My tasks mainly consisted of dealing with invoices (calling other companies to request both accounts receivables and accounts payables as well as faxing required documentation), as well as looking – more... through Oracle and the M4 database to find certain documents. All of my co-workers were extremely warm and friendly. It was a pleasure working there. – less

I would do ANYTHING to work for the County again. The worst mistake I ever made was leaving the County.

Typical Day's Work:
After confirming the project deliverables with the responsible County Manager, performed project management duties which included the following: Organzied project by obtaining the right resources for the project, setting up a project plan, financials and held weekly meetings with the team members from inception of project to completion.

The – more... HP Management team was very good to work for and they clearly defined expectations for projects and my personal goals.

My co-workers were excellent team players. Everyone pitched in to help when someone needed it. We also leveraged our knowledge during weekly meetings as well as one-on-one.

The hardest part of the job was working with constrained resources due to HP's use of Offshore/Best Shore resources for most of their accounts. Since the County of San Diego is a government account, the resources had to be US based. At times, it was challenging to find US resources with unique skills that some of the projects I managed required. An example would be finding an HP employee with mobile application expertise that was US based and available.

The most enjoyable part of the job was running the project itself and working with very good technical resources throughout the U.S. This helped to make the project work more enjoyable. – less

I keep in constant communication with the schools about the improvements or decline in behavior with set children and keep the parents informed as they arrive home, so I guess I learn about the kids and the differences in what I do with the children compared to how the schools do with the children and what I can improve on to make my job more efficient for me and the children.

Some days it can be the kids behavior, but most times its the children not wanting you to leave them.

I work at a call center and talk to clients to provide them information that will resolve issues with their cases.
The hardest part of the job is the time schedule on each call and work after each call. Also, when I can't resolve an issue.

Enjoyable employer, The work flow is not overwhelming and it's easy to maintain all tasks. My coworkers are hard working and fun to be around.
