CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

A typical work day consisted of working with your assigned partner to re-supply, stock, and clean the city vehicles for use to remove vandalism and graffiti within city limits. The first half of the day you and your partner will have specific duties correlating to where you sit in the truck. Ex: One person will be the driver where he/she monitors traffic and positions the truck and trailer in ideal locations for graffiti removal while minimizing the blockage of traffic, he/she then switches places to the passenger side after lunch and works on the computer attached to a stand to search and input data regarding removals, this promotes equality in the workplace. At lunch we would contact our supervisors to provide them with removal updates and any gang activity. What I enjoyed most about this job was the freedom, you were given assigned tasks, as long as you completed them in a timely manner or communicated any concerns there would be no problems. Very easy going work at your own pace kind of job, good work ethic was praised and rewarded while negative work ethic was detrimental to the work place and often results in termination. Communication and Safety is key to working with others with machinery and chemicals. You watch my back I'll watch yours kind of Co-worker attitude worked best for me.

The City keeps all its part time works classified as temporary part time so they do not have to offer benefits.  Also, as temporary part time you can be fired at any time for ANY reason.  The supervisors in the child development department supervise by bullying and intimidation.  I was actually told by a high up supervisor that my face was unwelcoming.  If you ask too many questions they will do anything to put you back into place.  I worked in the  child development division for 14 years and was fired for asking the director, who does not have any child development units or teaching experierance, why we doing activites that were not age appropriate.  The city doesn't promote from within, so don't get hired thinking that you can advance because you will not be considered.

Excellent place to work, dealing with social issues in the community and being able to design and construct projects in the community is a great motivator to work.
Dealing with City Council members and the public make it a challenge and allows for growth in personal skills. The work is challenging and the amount of learning opportunities are limitless as different agencies created different challenges. Management is great and the environment is very family oriented.
Dealing with the public is definitely the most challenging as the projects interfere with their daily lives and the logistics of getting the work done is problematic.
The end results is the best part of this job as you can see the difference the projects make in a community.

Working for the City of Santa Clarita is challenging because they have a much higher standard of safety and protocol than most places. They have very specific rules to follow in case of emergencies that are sometimes difficult to follow in the field. However, the safety measures make sense and that made it somewhat easier to follow through with. 

Working with kids is always rewarding and I had a pretty good time overall. The management is tough to talk to on a relatable level but they do their job and that is really what matters in the end. 

Overall, a good job to do once if you do well in high stress environments.

I worked for the City of Santa Clarita for 4  1/2 years. This was a great place to start working part time while gaining entry level work experience. It was also a fun place to work and I met many great people along the way with a great workplace culture. The hardest part of the job was only being able to work under 20 hours per week for part time employees.  The only bad part was the lack of opportunity and career advancement for part time employees.

My review for Six Flags Magic Mountain is that the job is great for individuals looking the fun at the place they work. While working at Six Flags, I was transferred separate departments because my supervisors valued my skills. The work conditions could be improved and closer mentoring while on the job would improve customer satisfaction for the guests and allow better training opportunities for staff both new and returning.

A basic day at work consists of working with outside companies and vendors to help develop events planned for the public. We have an enthusiastic group of co-works and management staff that enjoys coming into work on everyday and event day. 
The hardest part of my job is over working myself, I take on to many events because I enjoy every event we deliver to the public. The most enjoyable part of my job is organizing with outside vendor, in order to develop a well organized event.

Other reviews by preschool staff were spot on. Low pay, no benefits, no advancement, immature staff, no communication between employees and supervisors, no appriciation, hardly any hours, and my hours were reduced without explaination and I had no choice in the matter. I assumed a city job was a step up-- was I wrong! If anything the job set me back. Don't waste your time like I did. I wish I'd read employee review before applying-- it would've saved me a lot of grief.  If I could give negative stars, I would.

A typical day involves a lot of interaction with the public addressing any questions of concerns residents may have. Co-workers are approachable and willing to offer assistance to one another if needed. When customers call to file a complaint or question decisions, if they did not get the answer they anticipated, often times they become angry so staff must find a reasonable solution while following City policies.
