Eligibility Worker II (Former Employee) - Compton, CA - May 25, 2023

Compton district 26 was one of the most greatest place to grow and be a part of for 25 years. Our district directoris the best ever. If I could do it all over again I would.

Slow Advancement

Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Administrative Services Manager II (Former Employee) - Norwalk, CA - May 8, 2023

While there are a lot of benefits provided to those who work for the County, it is very competitive and limited opportunities to advance. Lots of nepotism.

A secured job

Eligibility Worker II (Current Employee) - Compton, CA - May 6, 2023

It is a good place to work for. You are always notified of new transfer positions if you don't like what you are doing. They offer the best benefits package you can have. The pay is not the best though.

I was only a minority American, I felt lonely most time.

Clerical Assistant (Former Employee) - Norwalk, CA - May 2, 2023

Job environment was very busy, and stressful. I can say I need more English skills, and computers at that time. I had to park in the parking structures on 3rd floors, and I had to walk 20 minutes to get to the work. It was not worthy to continue to work there with only minimum pay.

Pros

I am an organized person, I enjoyed filing.

Cons

Short break time, no benefits. So just quit.

It's okay

HPA (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - May 1, 2023

Very unorganized. The medical director doesn't really listen to what employees have to say. We don't have a set place for his to reside on and doesn't want us to work from home

Workplace not what it was made out to seem

Intermediate Clerk (Former Employee) - Van Nuys, CA - April 30, 2023

At the interview the job sounds great, sounds like exactly what I was looking for . When it was time for me to start and I did so I was under the impression that I’d switch into the schedule after training but apparently that wasn’t the agreement and they couldn’t adjust my time 30 to prevent me being late after all adjustment I made to accommodate them

Nepotism and Potlucks

Child Support Specialist (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - April 28, 2023

Promoting depends upon who you know and are willing to stab in the back. Micromanagement to the tenth power. But you will get paid just enough to not qualify for low income housing. Good potlucks though.

I never want to go back.

Epidemiologist/Data Monitor (Former Employee) - Remote - April 19, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The pay. I went to the job for a salary raise and the benefits are good. Pay raises occur annually until you max out.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The people. It’s a bunch of egos and drama. People are dishonest and controlling and titles decide what gets done, not who has the best idea.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?It depends on the team. Some are quite nice and others are dysfunctional.What is a typical day like for you at the company?I was either underworked or overworked. You rarely have balance, and management is overly beholden to the Board of Supervisors, grants, and entrenched staff

Great benefits/horrible work-life balance

Children's Social Worker (Former Employee) - DCFS - April 11, 2023

Depending on the Department, you can often end up working well over 10 hours a day. Management rarely seemed to care about employees’ work/life balance. Advancement often depended on office politics.

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Advancement and moving around

Great experience

Social Worker (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - February 25, 2023

Experience is great and definitely opportunities for growth. Management doesnt provide good support to employees but there are some good supervisors who are understanding. Pay could be better.

Management not working and following guidelines lots of favortism.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Hostile, abusive , profanity being used on a regular basis with colleagues.

Worked

Secretary III / Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Los Angeles, CA 90012 - February 11, 2023

County is a Great Place to work and transfer to different areas in the County. The only draw back with the County is they work you until your fingers fall off. If you know the right people- you get promoted quickly. I am speaking for myself - maybe someone else has had a different perspective. I have worked for the County for 38 years. For me, nothing has changed.
