My typical day at work, I get there around 11:30am the kids are about to eat lunch. I walk around the tables making sure everyone's getting along, then after lunch about 12:30 we take the kids to the bathroom to change for swim. After words we go to the pool for 2 hours and we get out around 3:00pm take the back to the bathroom to change. Then we go inside and have are activity for the day . Then around 5:00pm when all go outside to the play ground and play tell there parents pick them up by 6:00pm and then I go home .

My co-workers are all very nice there's not one person there I don't get along with . We find ways to have fun to because working with kids is something special you have to have patience and its nice to find people who likes the same thing you do. So all and all I LOVE my co-workers

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is knowing you have a guaranteed job

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very poor communication, planning and most supervisors hold their position due to time rather than qualification.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is very low moral, younger crowd that doesn't know any better of how to be treated professionally and really underpaid.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I come home more frustrated and sad than happy, I'm grateful for a job but a person should enjoy what they do for a living being they're there more than at home.

Good job if you know how to suck up to bosses and get on the "FAVORITES" list or you wont last long.  Where I worked. there were too many bosses,  alot of micro -management.  The dept. Is Solidwaste, dept. but it should be called. Taxdollar waste dept. Pay is good but have to put up with alot of stress.  The Bosses always drive around just looking for employees making mistakes,  almost like harassment.   Good luck to anyone that gets a job there.  Your Gonna need it.

Pay is alright I guess.  But only the "suck ups" and "snitches" are  promoted. 
  There are way too many bosses where I worked &  alot of micro management.  They are always looking for mistakes, NEVER praise the workers for doing a  good job.  They drive around and just park to watch (with binoculars?) for any mistakes. Too much pressure, It almost feels like being harassed.  Local Government tax money being wasted on all those overpaid bosses in one location. -the fleecing of Tax dollars at it's finest...

The 911 dispatchers that are hired for the city are very under paid. The county employees do the same work as the city dispatchers but make 5$ less to start when you are a city employee. The benefits are great if you don’t mind making 19$ an hour. They really need to pay their dispatchers more money. It is such a stressful job  and they should compensate better for that reason alone. If you want to work for the fire department save your time and get hired on through the county. 

Having two supervisors and two more field supervisors is very unnecessary, little pay for work that’s heavy on the body, high risk of valley fever sinus infections and more ! Not an exciting work environment, you’re not reworded for any hard work you do, supervisors look for anything you do wrong and criticize you for it. Just overall the worst job I ever experienced. Definitely do not recommend 

City of Bakersfield parks and rec , is a unique department. This department is kind of connected in the background to other departments. In the sense that whenever they want to hold a event park an rec staff are usually involved. As well as you have a god sense of accomplishment when the public comes out to enjoy park and rec facilities!

Great and fun place to work, but you feel like you commit a crime when you ask for a day off. Most of the management is fun and wants to help you succeed. Many MANY hours for good workers, sometimes too much but you can't ask for a decrease. I had almost 40 hours as a junior in high school. It's good though if you need the money. 

I enjoyed my position at the City of Bakersfield Police Department.  I worked with great people and the management was the best.  The hardest part of the job was waiting on pieces of the puzzle in order to get my job accomplished in a timely manner.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction of knowing that everyone would be receiving a paycheck.

The City of Bakersfield Police Department is committed to providing professional and selfless service to the community. They strive for excellence and require all employees to conduct themselves with honor and integrity at all times, on and off duty. Working for the City of Bakersfield was one of the best work experiences I will ever encounter.
