City Of Bloomington

A typical work day: Coming in to work, getting my cash drawer, logging into my computer and start processing utility payments, answering phone calls and assisting customers when they come in to pay their bills. Over the years I have learned excellent customer skills and how to build relationships with people so they can feel comfortable interacting with me when they come in. Again  I don't like to say anything bad about management however they do not make you feel apart of the team. Constantly giving negative feedback and not really lifting the team at all it is shown when it comes to performance raise time. I have not had a raise in 3 1/2 years and that is due to management not believing in me as I believe in myself.  The hardest part of my job or any job is not being appreciated at what you do to be who you are. The most enjoyable part of my job is the coworkers and looking forward to interacting with the customers.

I work security for events at the arena and BPAC. It’s an easy job and mangers are not on your back. The problem is I have 8 years of experience in security and they have no training program and expect you to know what you’re doing on little to no training. They’re short staffed all the time as no one wants to work. It’s volunteer you sign up and do the event but some sign up and don’t show. Easy money. Great for students or retirees not a real job.

Day camp required an early day but it was extremely well structured. My co workers helped make the long hot days pass with humor and support during rough days. Management always worked to supply needed goods or information and often backed you up on your decisions. The hardest part was working with kids who were forced to attend by their parents and therefore did not give the camp a try. The most enjoyable part was working with kids one on one to accomplish a goal.

The City of Bloomington is a great place to work. The work culture is very supportive and inclusive. Management wants you to succeed. One of the major cons is the salary does not stay competitive for long. However, there is a very generous benefits package and a lot of PTO in addition to several paid holidays that helps balance out the pay. That being said, sometimes even Department heads have been known to work part time’s jobs. 

Decent place to work. Hours are set. There’s no room for advancement. Benefits are so-so. Was better when I started but that’s america for u. Good paid time off and they buy you shoes and jackets. Union job but that’s part of the problem. Lazy workers are hard to get rid of and make the same as the ones that do extra and help out all the time. Bad for moral.

It should be a good place to work, problems and stress on the job have been mounting over last couple of years.  Budget and money issues make doing the job harder to do than it should be.  lack of good direction from supervisors and their willingness to stand up for people is becoming and issue.  City has way to many managers compared to how many general employees.

The environment was relaxed and fun. The position comprised of scheduling rental inspectors for inspections. There was lots of phone work and front counter customer service. The hardest part of the job was when you were the only person answering the phone and counter. The most enjoyable part of the job is that we laughed a lot and had fun.

Measured and calculated sod, concrete, asphalt, and miscellaneous quantities on different projects. Conducted pedestrian ramp inspection and inventory throughout the city of Bloomington. Assisted with project correspondence including mailing letters and meeting with residents. Assisted in completing punch list items for road projects

Over the summer in Minnesota it's important to take advantage of the sunny days. Working as a park program leader you get the best of both worlds. You get to spend the whole day outside, while also working with the participants. The employers and supervisors are super kind and take your opinions into consideration.

I love working with Customers! However, my coworkers weren't the best customer services representatives and some other were very rude even with coworkers. A typical day of work for me was, to clock in, go straight to my station and help customers with their transactions.
