Working at County Of Nevada: Employee Reviews

3.0

A lot of nepotism and unfair employment practices

Eligibility Worker III (Former Employee) – Nevada City – August 4, 2017

Good benefits, good but very unhappy co-workers. Unskilled management that seemed to promote due to connections rather than skills. The environment is oppressive. The benefits were good, but the stress from lack of support from management and unrealistic expectations by unskilled management was not worth it.

Pros

Some very nice coworkers, good benefits

Cons

No job security, unsupportive environment, unskilled management

CEO's office and upper management are horrible

staff (Former Employee) – Grass Valley, CA – December 5, 2017

The CEO's office and upper management do not care about staff or constituents. You have to play the political game if you want to get any where. They do not value intelligence or empathy. If you can be a puppet, you might be ok. Lots of nepotism. The CEO's wife has a high position in HR. There is a lot of corruption. There is no training, no policies and procedures in any of the departments that I have worked in.

Pros

the line staff are great

no way to advance

Group Supervisor II (Former Employee) – Nevada City, CA – July 22, 2017

Management was lacking in personnel skills, communication or willingness to assist.
Shift leadership was poor and the realization that there was no support system for floor staff made the job a fearful place to work

Pros

meals and co workers

Cons

lack of consistency, communication and lack of positive leadership, pay not adequate for position

Institution with Shift Work - rewarding if looking to see youth grow into adults

Senior Group Supervisor (Former Employee) – Nevada City, CA – August 7, 2014

Shift work is long and tough, with 12 hour shifts. These lead to longer weekends, which is well worth the extra hours in a day. You are in the institution, following a set schedule, side by side with the youth. The training is constant and extensive. The management is generally looking for the well being of the youth and the safety and security of the institution. The hardest part of the job is when the youth "act out" due to their personal life complications. Rarely do the youth act out due to the staff, but rather after conversations with family and loved ones. The best part of the job is when you reach a youth and build that connection that leads to them thinking positively about their future and growing as a person.

Pros

Meals are provided, benefits are excellent

Cons

Long days, conflicting managment styles, potentially agressive youth
