Ramsey County Reviews

The list is endless. Let’s just say, it’s one thing to have horrible clients, but it’s a whole new deal when you have horrible workers, supervisors, managers etc. you gotta keep your true feelings to yourself, can’t trust anybody. More trivial things are, horrible facility (eg. mice, bad air flow, disgusting bathrooms), phones are from like the 70s, location itself is inconvenient. Parking takes like a fourth of your pay check (at least it feels like it). Ramsey county does not even provide their workers cheap eating utensils....even though I always come prepared, I’ve never seen such a company. My experience so far is truly disappointing, however I am here to help people like myself and will put up with it jus a bit longer because I still have hope that it will be a great place again some day.

Ramsey County is the most abusive environment in which it has been my misfortune to work. The commissioners swan about making over $85,000 a year for what is essentially a part-time job but are clueless about what is going on with the rank and file. It is an extremely hierarchical institution in which change occurs at a sloth's pace. Department directors only provide the commissioners with enough information about projects to stroke their egos and to make themselves look good. Individuals are promoted to positions for which they are not qualified based solely it being "his or her time". There is at least one director in a very public position for which he is not qualified and is the laughing stock of peers in other agencies. Policies abound, including one which is supposed to encourage a respectful work environment. It looks good on paper but in practice it is completely ignored. Complaints about employee abuse and victimization fall on deaf ears. While there is a policy regarding diversity, there seems to be little awareness that this means more than hiring people of color - I'm caucasian and even I can see glaring omissions. I could go on . . . .
