Healthy living. I enjoyed working at the department. Often the positions are based on funds from government so you may or may not have a job. It’s wonderful working for the community.

The biggest issue for me is the culture of politics in the chemical dependency clinic. There is no rhyme or reason for anything that happens in that clinic. Everything is at the whim and feelings of the Clinic Coordinator and the click-ish management team. Advancement and cuddos are given to those who brown nose and is not determined by merit or experience. decent wages click-ish culture 9.0 1.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 2.0 4.0 2.0 Jan 31st, 2021 06:33PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:33PM Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

However, every time I applied I always get a response that I was not selected for interviewing and HR has decided to move forward with other successful candidates. Yet, that very same day, I will see A job post for that very same position I just got rejected from! It’s who you know in order to get a job with Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, as they will not give any potential candidates who are more than qualifying a cha nce...unless you have relations with someone who works there. And judging by the past reviews about the organization itself, it’s a good thing I do not work for them because their mission statement of serving the public good is no longer a vision. 9.0 3.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Jan 31st, 2021 06:33PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:35PM Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

Limited resources to do your job correctly. At first they encourage you and after some months management is just unapproachable. High turnover of medical personnel but that's expected. I liked most of my co-workers. Way too many unnecessary meetings. I did a lot in the time given me but my efforts were not acknowledged. There's always a focus on the negative, lack of team work feel. Micro management! No ergonomic considerations until you are permanent. Even then it's all about "what's in the budget". Get a doctors note if you need to. Expect to work with mostly women. Hiring is not very diverse when it comes to gender but it's a diverse culture otherwise. Secure building, hour lunches, 4:30 p.m. end time, mostly good co-workers, vending machines and a comfortable lunch room, plenty of unhealthy treats from co-workers, potlucks Lack of acknowledgement for your efforts, poor/ micro-management, internal politics, cliques in management, lack of ergonomics, benefits seem great but it doesnt cover costs of prescriptions very well, too many meetings, policy violations, no structured training 14.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 Jan 31st, 2021 06:33PM Mar 20th, 2021 05:56PM Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department
