City of College Station

I absolutely loved all of my coworkers! They were fun, down to earth and helpful. I also loved dealing with customers over the phones. I enjoyed my job so much that I really saw myself retiring from the city. I worked alongside people that had been there for 10, 20, 30 plus years! The downside was management. From the start there was poor training and miscommunication.  For example I would have one person teaching me things then months later mgt asking why I did things the way I did. They would then show me a different way of doing things. It became very frustrating and no one took responsibility for their wrong doing in the poor training. There was also favorites who got special treatment. As well as relatiation from mgt. that went unaddressed even after HR got involved. Overall, I really enjoyed my job just couldn't make it work with supervisors! :(

There are some amazing people working here  There are not enough hours in the day to accomplish the workload, but on the plus side, there is little expectation for overtime.  Leadership could be more respectful/supportive/ invested in their employees.  Focus is on tasks not employees as people.  Promotions to management are based on a need to fill positions, not skill sets and leadership qualities and there is a lack of training for supervisors and managers.  You hear "Employees are our biggest asset" a lot from leadership, but it is not reflected in mandates and decisions that effect employees...  

Great place to work. I learned a lot about public speaking, having to work as a team with other departments. I reviewed site plans and did site inspections for Certificate of Occupancy. Management was very supportive. I had the best co-workers we made a great team. The hardest part of the job was having to work with developers who did not want to follow our codes and ordinances, but at the end of the day we usually found a happy balance. The best part of my job was knowing that I was instrumental in making our community a better place to live.

The City of College Station is employed by some of the most hard working, and caring individuals I have ever met.  That being said, they frequently promote from within, and therefore possible have not hired the right talent for the right positions. Due to limited resources, one person can be doing a job meant for 3-4 people. The Benefits are excellent, and the pay is better than you'll receive at the big school across the street. Still, there is not a lot of room for advancement and it can be frustrating when the ceiling is "too low".

just find something else, unless you like making no money whatsoever, benefits are OK but they really hype them up like you've never had them before, when I started working here i believed this was going to be a great job but it's not, truthfully management don't care about anyone here and that's why I've seen so many people leave since I started, let's not even get started on the way you get treated by fellow co workers

I learned quite a bit of programs, which included Cityworks asset management system, PAVER street database, and Trimble. This job is great for someone starting their career in GIS, but advancement to move in the organization is another story. I was able to work on my Master's degree while working there over two years.

For a very "well-off" city, they are constantly trying to do things on a shoestring.  They expect "top quality" but do not want to pay for it.  A constant struggle to have the manpower and equipment needed to do a job, under constant criticism for "asking for too much."

I “grew up” at the City of College Station. As a young engineer I was able to work on a wide variety of projects. I learned to listen to citizen’s’ concerns and develop solutions, find funding, and see things through completion. 
The best part of the job was working with people who cared about me, the community, and felt that their work was appreciated.
