A typical day working for the city of little rock is enjoyable, everybody works together and gets alot done,iv obtained my cdl while working there, also have moved up 3 levels to superviser in a little over a year iv learned how to deal with city officials such as city directors,and city code enforcment officers, i enjoyeed yhe workers i worked with,the hardest part about the job is dealing with city politics,some person in a office in city hall trying to make a decision about a job out in the field they know nothing about, the most enjoyable part of the job is working with the public and helping others,the benifits and hours in our department are no good at all , no insurance and hours cut to 25 per week recently

When I worked for the COLR; at first I was excited to make a difference in the community and develop leaders but instead that was short lived. I felt like the COLR didn't value my work ethnic and saw me as an asset to help invest in the leader I desired to be. My department went through a lot of changes during my employment there and as a result I was terminated after my operation was sabotaged by my own secretary. I worked excessive hours but never felt I had the teamwork to help the program thrive. I learned to from this job to document everything and go with your gut even if you feel some resistance from upper management. I enjoyed developing my team and making a difference in the community.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have benefits and a boot allowance twice a year. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful  part is no training or support from upper management. The hierarchy system is flawed and the mayor doesn't pay enough attention to the people he put in charge and how they lead.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is predominantly African American  but all the higher paying management  positions are white only. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in to the office every morning and receive your work orders for the day. Finish your work and come back to the office to clock out.

As the only man (and smoker) in the HR department, I was not made to feel welcome by my supervision. My supervisor did not like men due to a recent divorce, and had no problem telling me. "Leadership" is a dirty word there, but "micro-management" might as well be etched on every wall. Nothing happens that does not get double- and triple-checked, edited, passed around for input, then finally produced two weeks after deadline. All after being completed with three days to spare. The hardest part of the day was going to work, and the best part was after I got home. The only real positives are the compensation and benefits package, if you can stay long enough to be eligible.

 Learned how to work with kids of all ages. Also learned how to reach out to everyone;no matter how their home lives were. Build a lot of patience.
Management was great; very flexible with times and time off if needed.
Co-Workers were even better. Most of them were around the same age group as me; which made things a lot manageable and easier to get along with.
Hardest Part of my job was trying to keep all the youth motivated throughout the draining heat during the day.
The most enjoyable apart of the job was actually getting the chance to learn how kids may operate during tough situations.

My job is essential to our city. Being able to provide good customer service is what I take pride in the most.  When people come to my department, they're either dealing with a car accident, theft of a vehicle or even a simple traffic violation. How I entreat people in those moments matter. Helping a potentially difficult situation become a little better or easier is very important. I'm grateful for an opportunity to work for and serve my city.

I loved working with the City of Little Rock in the IT field. It gave me an opportunity to enhance my skills, troubleshoot multiple PCs at multiple locations and I met a lot of nice people. However, the IT Department, as well as the City of Little Rock needs to work on having a clearer policies that apply to all employees in all departments:  start pay, raises, advancements, employee and management conduct of behavior in the work environment.

The TR division of the City of Little Rock has a wonderful program that reaches a select group of individuals. The staff culture leaves nothing to be desired. 

However, the city government isn't exactly a well-oiled machine. They are not prompt in hiring new staff and so leave the division severely and dangerously short-handed. They are also not trustworthy in paying their bills on time and the budget for staff salary is shamefully small.

I loved conversating with people in the neighborhood. Management sometimes was not good. Too political and too much double standards. Some officers not wanting to work with others for various reasons. Racial tension was a big problem that was never solved or seriously addressed. I loved helping people and assisting them with their problems. Hardest part of the job was dealing with the politics.
