The garage itself is nice, with plenty of space, climate control, and an expectation that people will keep things somewhat tidy. The other mechanics in all three shops are pretty good people, too, and will be happy to mentor or assist you should you be given an assignment that you are unequipped for. However, the management is absolutely awful, will make up reasons to write you up, and will assign a task that is not within your department. They will set unreasonable or unrealistic expectations for repair times, then claim you did not qualify for your productivity bonus. The management will pull employees into the office to talk to them, then will put words in the employee's mouth, twist the meaning of a conversation, focus on something that is entirely beside the point, change the order of events, and otherwise gaslight and manipulate the employee. Management behaves inappropriately or makes threats to physically harm employees or their personal property, then pulls them aside to apologize because it was just a joke. Very toxic, narcissistic behavior from people who are high up and well-connected, so as an employee you just have to deal with it. If you go to HR, there is an extremely good chance you will soon find yourself fired, supposedly for a completely unrelated reason. I am trying like heck to get out of there, and I would never recommend anyone else to work there. 

Gathering files for the daily route throughout the city and arranging them for the best possible time management. I learned to manage 14 officers with many different personalities to best meet the needs of the department. These guys brought many different skills and knowledge to the department. Great co-workers all. Most frustrating part of my position was dealing with drug dealers with children being exposed to unhealthy conditions. Most enjoyable was being able to help the elderly to get their property up to code. A lot of areas just did not have finances to comply with regulations.

A typical day consist of contacting individuals who feel they have been discriminated against. We get detailed information as to what allegedly occurred. Individuals must state the basis for their charge of discrimination (race or color, gender, religion, disability). We schedule a time for the individual to come in a complete paperwork which is in turn mailed to the alleged offending organization/employer/school. Once a reply is received, we request a rebuttal from the complaining party. After completion of our investigation, we must complete the final report which covers in detail the result of our investigation and the evidence used to reach our conclusion

I worked at the Fire Department for almost 20 years. I absolutely loved the job and the people were like family. Pay was good, and there’s an annual raise. Great benefits and time off.  

Unfortunately, everyone is subject to politics and political restructuring. I watched several people forced to resign until finally it happened to me as well. It’s amazing how politics can change people! I was very close to, and loved, all the people I worked with on every level, so to say I was very disappointed in them is an understatement. 

It’s not just the department I was in, but all of them unfortunately. If you’re lucky enough to dodge this or work in the union, then consider yourself lucky. Overall a great place to work if you can avoid the politics.

Being certified through Ellis gave professional and reliable training to keep swimmers safe. The hours were long for a full day of the pool being open, but you develop friendships with your co-workers and can have lots of fun! I would bring food and snacks for the day because its a long day in the sun and water. My least favorite experience was that long days with the same staff resulted in drama and irritable teenage girls being cliquey. It depends who you work with but overall the job was a great experience. My favorite part was having social interaction and a sense of responsibility while enjoying the summer weather and it was lovely to work with kids and see their swim skills improve from week to week. 

I would handle around 100 customers a day. While maintaining a clean pro shop and have golf carts available for customers. I would have to start closing procedures around six at night. The basic cleaning and making sure everything is ready for the next morning. Most of the time I would be working alone. So while working by yourself you have to make decisions that would normally require a manager. It makes you feel like they have trust in you since everyone works by themselves most of the time. The hardest part of the job is dealing with some customers. 98% are great but that 2% can really get under your skin. It was an overall great work experience.

Work day begins at 7am and ends at 3pm. Learn different task each day. Our in house culture is pretty good. I love making our park look good and enjoy seeing the people who attend them.  Hardest part of is getting everyone on the same page. We get very little leadership from our supervisors so we have a lot of self motivation. Overall its a good place to learn a good wage and go home>

CCP has maintained a toxic work environment for decades. There has been no attempt in building a positive work culture. The emergency management staff (dispatchers) are amazing at what they do. It’s the management, at every level, that creates a hostile work environment. 

The work in general is not the most rewarding.  Management is overpaid for what they do.  Too much time is spent creating an unpleasant working environment for the "peons" who just want to do their work and go home.  This place needs to "drain the swamp" which won't happen until a new administration comes in.  If you like working for petty children with a lot of time on their hands,  this is a good place to be.
