City of Erie

I loved working at City Hall because I got hands on experience working with the community and got to actually help people! Unfortunately, the Finance Director and the Public Works Director are ego maniacs and completely dictate everyone and everything in the building! The Public Works Director's salary is $98,000.00 and literally does nothing and when an issue occurs he either delegates it to someone else or lies about it and does nothing. I have witnessed the Finance Director make women cry in his department. The old administration knew of this and let it occur and the new administration knows of this and has done nothing to stop it. Your average City Hall employee (not in a management position) does not enjoy work because of those reasons. While the current administration is doing a fantastic job in the community, they are failing to take care of the overall morale of the building and its employees. The HR Manager was very kind and personable in the old administration however just like the Public Works Director, got a huge ego under the new administration and now thinks she is the bees knees. Overall I would not recommend working here unless you like to be stressed out, micromanaged, and disrespected.

The current administration has known for years that moral is at an all time low and still have yet to do anything to help. Speaking of help, don’t ask your supervisor, Human Resources, the Mayor or his assistant for any help…it will always be your problem, not theirs, and they will offer you nothing in return. However, if you love drama, backstabbing, and watching other people get raises for basically making their chair spin, then you most definitely should apply!

Being a Firefighter for the City of Erie was my DREAM job. The wide variety of situations encountered on any given shift made the past 22 years fly by. I believe the Men and Women of the Erie Fire Dept. are some of the best and most dedicated individuals anywhere. The problem solving skills acquired while performing my job have proven useful in all aspects of my life. Making decisions in the most stressful situations and seeing positive results is also very rewarding.

I have worked here for almost 8years making my way to top of list to be hired.I made 8$ for first 6 years until they changed it to 10$. Yet full time employees make well over 20$ doing same job as part timers do.But theres 2x amount part timers to full..not right at all.

Work environment was good. Good team work with an excellent staff. Pleasure to serve the community and help to advance the comment mission. We were able to accomplish many transformational things in the 12 years I served as Mayor.

The pay is not so great, but the job is fairly easy and the work environment is relaxed. I would recommend if you are looking for part time seasonal employment .

Not a hard job you’ll learn about different areas of the city. You get paid every other week have the weekends off. Meet a lot of cool people and veterans that been there awhile.

 good work hours ... decent pay ...   its a rough job not for everybody   there is plenty of room for advancement ....   get your cdl .. well worth it if your willing to wait to get hited full time 

Overall a great job with great people to work with always a pleasure to go to work and be outstanding at the job and u don need a gym membership if you work there

Easy pace..  always help when needed.  Wonderful supervisor. Position has great hours/during school only. Police would patrol areas, making it easier if any problems occurred.  Would recommend position to anyone.
