Decent

Children's Social Worker II (Former Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - October 11, 2023

I loved working there other than from dealing with jealous females. The work was intense at times. The pay and benefits were good. The union worked hard for us and my experience was mostly positive outside of jealous females.

Productive and Fun place to work

Election Worker /County of Los Angeles Registrar Recorder (Former Employee) - Norwalk, CA - October 6, 2023

Working for the Registrar/Recorder of Los Angeles was a great experience, I learned how the Elections and Petitions work. Election Management Team was a decent group of people all working towards the same goal, they were respectful, and never talked down to any workers. Workplace culture was good, just one or two bullies that's it, everyone else very helpful and respectful. Hardest part was getting up very early 3- 5 am to drive long distances to set up voting booths. Most enjoyable was meeting lots of new people and exploring many different parts of Los Angeles County.

Pros

new friends and travel

Cons

start time very early, long work day

Stressful and no room for growth

CSW (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - September 27, 2023

The county has great pay and good benefits but the jobs could be stressful due to heavy caseloads and lack of mgt help. Further, it appears to be a barrier to actually really promote at times, feels like you’re stuck as they pick who they want to pick as to promoting or transferring.

Great benefits and upward mobility

Public Health Nurse (Former Employee) - Los Angeles County, CA - September 25, 2023

Great opportunity to promote and family friendly schedule for nurses that do not want bedside. Awesome benefits. 4 stars due to hit and miss with supervisors, may get supportive ones or micromanaging ones. Work environment can get political and judgy.

Be willing to commute, be a DSW, and wear a variety of "hats" if you wish to be a librarian.

Library Page (Current Employee) - Stevenson Ranch, CA - September 18, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Health insurance for part-time workersWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Limits on hours for part-time staff (usually 20 hours only) and no vacation time (only 24 hours of personal sick time). They expect full-time staff to commute anywhere in L.A. County if you are hired. Example: you are hired for a job in North Region - Malibu and Lancaster are grouped in the same region. You are expected to be a Disaster Service Worker if needed - for example a contact tracer during the pandemic. For the Libraries, there will be fewer job openings, as they are not hiring floor staff for shelving ("Pages").What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Regimented government culture. Good training for diversity awareness, cybersecurity, and other issues. Don't expect holiday parties or bonuses. There are always a few people who just complain and talk about retirement; no surprise they are the ones who don't work much at all, even if they are full-time staff.What is a typical day like for you at the company?As a part-time page, I enjoy my job helping the public at the library, shelving books, and keeping the place organized. I used to do more of a variety of tasks, but now I am "not allowed to" since they hired new librarians.

Workplace culture

Detention Service Officer (Current Employee) - Downey, CA - September 17, 2023

Workplace culture inside of the halls consists of: No accountability for the actions of detainees ages 12-25 years old. Also officers aren’t held accountable and be a liability for not performing their job duties efficiently. Staffing issues that include 24 hour shifts. No work life balance.

LA County is a good place for career advancement.

Senior Typist Clerk (Former Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - July 30, 2023

I had been promoted twice in my first 3 years, so it’s a good place for advancement. The experience with managers and coworkers will vary depending upon location. I’ve had some seriously terrible ones, but I’ve also met some lifelong friends there. The benefits are great, some of the best I’ve had. You get raises quite often.

Pros

Noncontributory medical/dental benefits, 4% 401k match

Cons

Management/coworkers can be very “high school” by forming cliques and showing favoritism

Building up work skill that come up to excellent as a team.

Intermediate Typist Clerk (Former Employee) - Industry, CA 91746 - July 28, 2023

What stood out was love for each others as a family. After all we spend five day a week and forty hours a day with each others in others unit's. We as employees establishour relationship in order to be a team winner for our District. I do not know about bad and unfair, and never experience that in my life in a work environment. I just keep rolling like baseball to I hit a home roll.

Pros

One hour for lunch

Cons

fighter minutes break

It is a growing company, making Ng progress daily.

Intermediate Typist Clerk (Former Employee) - 12000 Hawthorne Blvd, Hawthorne, 90250 - July 3, 2023

Good atmosphere, wonderful place to work. I truly enjoyed my stay for 35yrs and 9 mos, from 3/5/1984 thru 12/30/2019.Very easy job, I worked independently bymyself. I adapted to my job very well, plus I got along with the higher rank, especiallymy Administration Office, where that would let me work in there when someone was calling in to be absent. Because I was reliable, they could depend on me.
