City of Frisco

I accepted a job at the Frisco Fire Department and was horribly disappointed. The first clue I got that it was a poorly managed fire department was when I was told to give my current employer my 2 weeks notice 11 days prior to my first day at work at Frisco. 

The Chief mandated that everyone must get a prostate exam annually regardless of your age even when the doctor that is performing it say that the test is pointless if you are under the age of 40. 

This was my second department to work for and it was incredibly micromanaged environment with a passive aggressive culture and loosely defined expectations of what they wanted from you. The rookie school was an absolute beat down with the officers keeping us late everyday but not allowing us to log the extra time worked. They would have us do stupid things in “PT” like run 2 miles in bunker gear so everyone had painful blisters for most of the class. Several days we worked out in bunker gear in 90+ degree heat until guys either started passing out or getting injured. By the end of the rookie school half of us were on light duty from injuries sustained during what they called “physical training”. Just a few things you can look forward to if you accept a job here. 

There are some good people working at Frisco FD but management has them all feeling like whipped puppies. 

The only people that will speak highly of working there are the people that have never worked at other fire departments and do not know how fun the job can be. At least 50% of the employees hate the job and would leave if they could. There is a reason they are having trouble recruiting people to take the test because they have a horrible reputation in the fire service.

They fight hardly any fire and absolutely lose their minds when they see something as simple as a fence fire because of how rarely they get a chance to prove themselves. 

I am currently working at another department and loving it! The best thing I got out of Frisco FD is it made me realize how much I love my current job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fantastic employer!!!
Great benefits, great work environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Just like with any other employer, the learning curve when you start your new position, but then it fades away. Most of the key positions have a lengthy tenure. You can expect to have a long career in Frisco.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The City has experienced tremendous growth and with growth, changes are expected to adapt to the increase in workforce which demands training and development. The City is experiencing change in all aspects, including a new culture of performance improvement and teamwork.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday is a challenge. When we serve the residents, no day is the same as the one before or the one coming after. The residents demand excellence in the service they receive from us, and we are committed to delivering the service they expect from us.

Frisco Texas is the fastest growing city in the nation. A typical day is very busy due to the influx of new residents and commercial business daily.  I have learned bankruptcy policies, utility billing for both residential and commercial customers, correction and reconciliation of monthly utility bills. meter readings, and strong customer service skills. Management does not micro-manage. They are confident in staffs ability to complete daily required tasks. Work place culture displayed constant team work.  The hardest part of the job was being able to please customers. We would try our best with a smile. The most enjoyable part of the job are the challenges that come daily from issues that may arise from customers, billing, or customer account reconciliation.

I worked at the library for nearly 3 years in the circulation department, and I was EXTREMELY over worked. The manager loves to follow you around to make sure you are doing you are what you are supposed to, but does not follow the people who do not lift a finger. Many of the librarians look down on you and do not value your opinions/ideas as a circulation member because you "are not as smart as them with a Master's degree." Though the pay is fairly decent for a college student, it is definitely not worth the stress it brought to my life. Not to mention, they are very flexible with schedules...yet they only seem to allow their "favorites" to choose their work days. This was AWFUL because at the time I was in college and they knew this...they did not care.

Personally I enjoyed working there. The general environment is positive and there’s lots of good people. They really invest in their employees by sending them to training. They have appreciation weeks for each department which are always fun. One thing to watch out for is asking questions. They say they encourage questions but when you do they come back with “didn’t you learn that in training??” I mean god forbid you forget anything; I just quit asking (and I’m not the only one that felt this way). Also if you’re having difficulties with your job, confide in a trusted coworker before going to a supervisor as it may come across as you can’t do your job. But overall I enjoyed working there and enjoyed the company of good people. 

It’s a great place to work if you don’t care about fair treatment or fair pay. Management sucks. They are all friends and work together to be against you. They will barely lift a finger to help you. Whether its getting you the right tools and equipment to perform your job or it’s talking about pay come review time of year. Most they will ever give you is 2.5% raise unless you are a brown nose suck up. And the employees.....some are good but for the most part are all out for themselves. Will stab you in the back whenever they get the chance. Don’t make this your career. Just make it a stepping stone onto something greater. Don’t get stuck here. You will regret it.

Clock by 7am review work orders with techs,find out what problems or parts techs need help with . Set times to visit projects going on , visit with contractors about projects. Inform and update  manager on projects  and parts required .  Clock out at 5pm for the day. One hour lunch taken when possible.

You have to be buddy-buddy with managers to move up. Doesn’t matter if you’re talented or hard working, they don’t care. You can do hard work and not get recognized at all but maybe with a little wooden token. They act like they care but they won’t step out of their office to see what you guys have to do. The wrong people are in charge and it won’t change. Barely have any time to eat lunch and they’ll write you up if you go a minute over.
