City Of Miami Beach

A typical day at 4bbcorp/MB parks and recreations usually starts at 7:00 am. Every morning they make you use a leaf-blower, you usually have to walk from 75th Street to 85th Street around the park/beach area blowing leaves or they tell you to pick up trash cans from each of the park's tables and once you're done with that, you do the usual of checking the dog parks and children's play area to see if they have any litter or drive around the park with the provided golf-carts to see if you see any litter to pick up, or check if there is any doggy bags by the doggy bag station area other days they make you check the waste and recycling bins for any trash to be thrown out. Other days they tell you to pressure wash the park or other days they tell you to drive with the Miami Beach employees, maintaining the other parks around the city, the usual leaf-blowing and picking up trash cans for eight hours. What skill I learned when working at Miami Beach, is communication, In my previous job we hardly did anything that involved communication. We had teamwork, but not to the extent of taking turns pressure washing the bathrooms, I also learned how to clean sidewalks with bleach or how to properly remove graffiti and a bit of new skills about landscaping and picking up leaves. Even learned how to drive a golf cart, which to me was a learning curve. Management, usually the supervisor would provide you with a task to do in the morning, for example: "ok, we want you to use the scuffle hoe, to get rid of some crabgrass around the dog park" and you do it, other times management is very relaxed, they just want you to look busy, other days when we have nothing to do, we just walk around picking up trash or reporting on broken tree branches or finding something to make the park look pretty. The workplace culture around the park, some days the other temp employers are very rude, others not so much. Somedays it's more of a, everyone is their boss mentality, if one person had found something off around the park and needed help, another employee would contact them for help. I'd say the hardest part about the job is when they would ask us to stay and do overtime when it comes to mulching, removing bags of mulch from the trucks is very dangerous, but as long as you're aware of what you're doing it's very easy. Especially when it gets hot, mulching is very grueling, however, they do provide you time to relax if it gets extremely hot, even with the summer heat, we do cool off at the trailers, but sometimes they don't let you, most of us had to find shade by the trees. I say the most enjoyable part of the experience, was some days we hardly did anything, they would tell us to relax and drive around the park, and some days people who visit the park would provide us with some food or drinks when it gets busy. Mostly its a very laid-back job, mostly when we go to the other parks, driving the truck around the area to area around Miami Beach, time goes by very fast when you work around the pick-up truck, I find that to be the best part of working with 4bbcorp another enjoyable part of the job, is that they make us stay in the trailers when it rains nonstop. When the park rains, we usually have to stay inside the trailers and do nothing. 

As a recreation leader, you work with kids of all ages. During the school year, you help transport the kids from the school to the recreational facilities, help with homework, provide snack, then engage in activities such as arts and crafts, sports, and games. In the summer, you work an 8 hour day (with an hour lunch break), you have a few field trips, spend time outside in the playground, take your group swimming, etc. You have to be active and creative when working with kids while also being very cautious on the things you say and do, as you're working with kids and being a role model to them. Management depends on where you are located at, but overall, there is a strong sense of morality and professionalism all around. The workplace environment can be a pretty decent time, for the most part everyone is friendly. But things may get catty when you are working with mostly staff from 18-24 years old. The hardest part of the job is having to work with many people and trying to reach the same overall goal, while having different methods of reaching it. The most enjoyable part is being able to spend time creating memories for the children.

I worked there several years ago and I remain scarred from that awful experience. (I still wince and panic a little when my supervisor wants to see me).   My direct supervisor had a wealth of knowledge but was condescending, rude and antagonistic. The Dept. Director was awful and between the two they made everyone’s life miserable. People in my position lasted only a year or so and I lasted more because I was determined to learn and I’m not a quitter (until the end). The environment  became so toxic I can honestly say I was miserable which lead to depression that I didn’t realize I had until many years later as I reflected on how my current work life experience had drastically changed. I have since transitioned to an organization with leadership that has empowered me and allowed me to grow.  

A typical day at the city of Miami Beach would consist of handling the concerns of Beach residence and residential parents who were adamant on having their children participate in the programs... With working in an environment such as this one, one learns how to react with the public and the demands as they see fit to each individuals needs. Co-workers were friendly and accepting, though the hardest moments would be the lack in certain supervisors when it came to decision making and responsibility. The most enjoyable part was participating with the children in their programs and seniors as well, seeing their faces light up when you do something grand for them.

Terrible place to work, wasted three years of my professional career!! My ACM was a very inadequate Manager and too close too the City Manager to perform his job. I have never worked in an organization with so much political inadeaqancies as with th the COMB. The Cit Commission at my time time ruled with a big fist as Administration was scared to death to go opposed. I had very little support with my position as those with connections within always ruled! Unions were very much part of the fabric as they always managed to waste tax payers money with productivity! I would never recommend working for this Ciy as the Management is the absolute worse that I have ever seen!!! Very corrupt and on the take!!

Every day is a great day at work. Managers, supervisors, and other employees are willing to teach you to enhance your work productivity and your knowledge of the jobs. I learn a lot every day. I learn a lot about networking, software/hardware every day. Also, there is always something new to learn and places to grow. The culture at work is very diverse. I work with Spanish people, Haitian people, and French people, which helps improve a lot in my language skills. The hardest part of the job is there is no hard part. If you're willing to learn, your work will be comfortable every day. Lastly, the most enjoyable part of the job is that you enjoy every hour, because you love what you are doing, and knowing that you have a great management team to help you do better.

Miami Beach city is one of the most visited places on USA. it is a fast paced environment since there is always something coming up. make sure you know your work, you do it on time and you wont have any issues. they offer good compensation and benefits to employees.  the work culture is a little complex since it changes from department to department, but overall is a relaxed place to work for. if you enjoy helping and dealing with people this is the perfect place for you. no matter what position you hold there are big chances that you will be helping someone.  the hardest part i believe is changes take long. it is normal for big organizations but somehow frustrating for employees that come from small businesses.

A typical day in the department would be customer service examining plans and dealing with certificates of completion and occupancy, and issuing building permits in the morning to noon shift. In the afternoon it would be in the field examining building sites.
I learned  about computers, dealing with the public, the running of a typical building department and as per co workers, how to be a part of the team to achieve a common goal.
The hardest part of the job was to deal with irate customers with a straight face.
The most enjoyable part of the job was to get free admission to many clubs and to be able to eat at many restaurants free of cost in south beach.

I provide my employees with the tools needed to complete their tasks, managed skilled supervisors and staff while preparing daily and weekly reports, flow charts and evaluations of progress. created special event plans and staffing. I was able to meet new people everyday, we are a team made up with employees from diverse cultures.

One of the hardest part of my job was not having the positions to hire all the great temp laborers to full time, only because we did not have the budget at the time and watching them leave.

One of the most satisfying accomplishments for me was growing my teams knowledge and skills on every Opportunity that i had.
