CITY OF SPOKANE

I loved this job. I never knew what was waiting for me day to day. I frequently had an agenda waiting for me each day of what I thought I was going to get done, and then "BANG".... throw it out the window....some other new issue flew in from the Mayor's Office and we were off and running. I also absolutely adored my boss, Howard Delaney, the City Attorney, and very much felt that he was my mentor and friend. I was also blessed with a very close co-worker Elizabeth Schoedel, who worked with me very closely. As if these two weren't enough, our clients were amazing people constantly reaching for solutions to difficult and complicatied scientific and engineering issues (we represented the City's Utility Departments, which was all environmental, land use, and real estate law). Each day was so much fun. I would be very fortunate to find a job with similar characteristics once again.

This job was a temporary/seasonal position. Even though it did not provide the job stability I now need, I am walking away with some fantastic experience. The team itself was a blast to work alongside, and management really did seem to care, even for those who were only seasonal. As a reviewer I gave it 4 stars, because even though I may have been dissatisfied with my own compensation or further advancement, the City of Spoke Solid Waste Management gave me tools to better myself at work, and in my life outside of work.

I started working with RFP when I was 16 and it is a great place for high school kids or those getting out of school and need work experience. I liked the people I work with and you are never stuck to one area, usually during events people from different areas intermingle and work different areas to provide a great day for the visitors. It can be sometimes hard to move up, but if you have the drive for it you'll do fine.

we started out with team meeting at the beginning of each day.We would breakout in groups of two then our superior would send us to a different part of Spokane north,West south and east groups.I learned that team work is very important and time management is also important.The hard part of the job was working during  summer time it was very hot .The most enjoyable everyone was very friendly  and we all work as a team  to complete out tasks.

One of the worst jobs I have ever had. Weird cliquish culture. Terribly unskilled upper management. Little to no support from anyone for any reason. Jobs are boring and tedious with no real end goal. No effort is made to make genuine improvements. Every employee is so apathetic there is zero motivational energy. Oddly--or more likely because of this--jobs pay extremely well. People stick around long after they should have moved on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is decent.  The hours are great!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of  communication. Things are forever changing.  Outside duties can be challenging due to homeless, transients, mischievous outsiders. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nonstop moving. Always something to do.  Little down time.  Work including indoor and outdoor,  all year.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with and the benefits, wages, and time off 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
only thing I can think of is maybe more training when you’re a new hire but that also depends on what department you’re in

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very relaxed with a homey feel . Everyone respects each other

What I learned about this job at City Hall was to never remove recycling from people's cubicles because they might have thrown away something in the recycling bin and later want to retrieve it and if we empty their bins, we'll be to blame. Hardest part of the job is cleaning all eight floors worth of restrooms, including the gym locker room restrooms during the entire shift.

I really enjoyed coming to work each day sometimes it was hard, rainy or cold. Even on the hard days though it was fun to be outside and traveling all over the city to parts I have never even seen. I got to go on top of water tanks and walk through the tunnels under a dam, it was awesome. I really hope i can go back next season.

I worked at the City of Spokane Engineering department during the Summer of 2014. During that I was an Inspector for a few chip-seal projects. The Inspection was fairly straight-forward. However I was really thrown into the job with little training and had sort of a trial-by-fire so to speak. My supervisor could have been a bit more enthusiastic. But all said and done it was a good job.
