City of Greensboro

I have currently been employed with the City of GSO for a total of 4 yrs this up and coming January '18. I must say that I have enjoyed every moment of getting up and servicing the city employees of Greensboro. Although, this is my first experience in the Occupational Health dept however not limited to all the procedures, codes and safety procedures therein. The atmosphere is one of a positive one and makes it particularly easy to carry out my position here as Medical Assistant Mon-Fri. To say that there's a difficult part to my job, I wouldn't be able to, because I've been performing most of the same procedures for almost a decade now. The most enjoyable experiences are when you know you were able to perform and carry out your duties for a patient effectively and efficiently so they are most pleased with our services. In most cases I am the first person a employees sees and the last person they have to speak to on the way out.

I currently work here as a solid waste operator.  We have a good schedule, 4-10s, off on Wednesday. Work load is nominal during the winter season,  when we have a winter. However when spring rolls around our workload is going skyrocket. We don't have enough workers for all the work. We don't get paid what we are worth, and we get no respect from our management or the residents. Do NOT apply to work for Solid waste until they raise the pay from the current minimum of 31k-32k a year to 40k. Just not worth it.

As a Administrative Assistant my job function was to interact with City of Greensboro employees when it came to making there employee ID Badges. I was also resposible for giving each employee there own access to certain buildings and gates (according to there supervisors directions). I would report daily to the assistant city manager (my boss) if there was anything i needed. I really enjoyed working for the city because i got to meet a lot of people in all different departments.

Conducive workplace and diversify culture as employees interact with utility workers to receive bills and solve problems. A typical day is clocking in, signing on to assigned computer in cubicle then attending to customers all over the city. Busiest day is when the city experienced adverse weather that results in bad road where the city needs to sprinkle salt on the roads. Dealing with customers is fun as you meet new people and sometimes meeting old friends you have not seen for years.

Working in the Information Technology Department was great, lots of great and knowledgeable people. There was always support, no mater if it was a professional issue, inter-employee issue, or even a personal issue. The only down side is the current hiring freeze on new positions. I was lucky because there was a "dire need" for my position, but the most that could be granted was a "roster" position, e.g. 20 hours per week, up to 1025 (estimate) per calendar year, no benefits, hourly pay rate.

Very enjoyable work day enjoyed meeting new people and co-workers were great to work with as well. I learned a lot about the importance of our environment and the fact that there are still people passionate about saving the  planet.  The hardest part of the job was driving to work especially in inclement weather.  The most enjoyable part of the job was helping other people make a difference by  informing them on keeping their property and farm lands safe.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working for this company was the benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lots and Lots of POLITICS among leadership. No chances for growth. Whatever position you were hired in is where you stay for career. Negative work environment!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was toxic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worries about what will happen on a daily bases.

Typical day at work starts with clocking in on time. Checking email in outlook system and returning phone calls. Managers were there to answer questions if needed but other than that let you work on your own. Co-workers were very helpful and always there to assist. Hardest part of the job was keeping in contact with the customers on case load. The most enjoyable part of the job was assisting a customer with completing their action plans.

It has been a pleasure working with the City of Greensboro for the Engineer of the Water Resources Department.  Everyone has been helpful and very knowledgeable about helping me learn how to do things with the computers and around the office.  Everyone helps each other out and if they don't know how to do it they will help you find someone who does.   The hours have been flexible depending on what needs done and I enjoy helping to get the job done.

A typicial day at City of Greensboro starts at 8:00 am, after having a safety meeting we go to our assign children. I Plan and organize group discussions with school age children. The hardest part of the job is that its not enough time allowed with the kids, because I'm a part-time worker. . the most relaxing part of the work place culture is seeing the children learn and have fun.especially when you can take a break and relax your mind.
