Pros
Retirement and Medical are the only top pros overall. Otherwise, it’s the baseline legal knowledge that you would obtain from your position in the court.
Cons
Deep nepotism that’s unbelievably frustrating for any new employees coming onboard. No matter how hard you work you will not get anywhere due to the small town environment. Antiquated managerial ideology places seniority over work-ethic, ingenuity, etc. yet they wonder why they have a high turnover! Any individual with dignity and intellect will surely leap at the chance of a different opportunity thus leaving the same old employees who’ve been there 10-20 years. There is also this underlined hierarchy present in the court where several of the judicial assistants feel entitled to yell or converse demeaning statements to those in the clerks office. It’s absolutely a toxic atmosphere. You also can’t go to your supervisor for help as they too are apart of the problem. The culture is disturbed.
