City of Naperville

A typical day at work in this position would be scanning and indexing any drawings that are submitted for new construction in the city. Also various plats that are recorded in the county are scanned and indexed by the Records Tech.There are also daily FOIA requests that have deadlines to be responded to. This position is the only position in the department so all the work that is performed is done by one person.

The hardest part of the job is when there is a problem with the software program that is used and you cannot perform your duties. The most enjoyable part of the job is assisting residents or contractors obtain the documents they need to obtain a permit for upgrades to residential property in Naperville.

Each day brought situational adjustments which were both the most enjoyable and challenging part of the job.

Co-workers and managers were professionals who truly valued their work output and helping the residents of the city. 

A typical day involved resident interaction, working with community organizations and assisting managers and professionals on all levels of the organization to meet their communications goals.

The management is all about themselves - they will and do walk all over their employees. Management dumps all work on the front line employees and takes all the credit.

The Mayor and Council do not care about the employees - raises are minimal, benefits are constantly being cut - Insurance keeps going up. If you do get a raise it is never as much as your insurance increase so every year you take home less.

 After 11 1/2 years there the best thing they did for me was fire me!

I have had a great time working for the City of Naperville.  They have been very supportive during the difficult times that Covid brought, including offering work from home options, 80 hours of Covid leave and adjusting sick time elimination days.  The City offers a ton of resources, including tuition reimbursement and on the job training.  They also hold a lot of events, including wellness events and employee picnics. 

Promises made at hiring are lies. Vacations, training, overtime all controlled by your direct supervisor. Majority of people left during Covid so they had to scrape to replace workers and it really shows. No true leadership, training or management in many areas. Truth-work somewhere else, anywhere else. 

I have nothing to add about this employer.
The people in PSAP (911) are very choosy about who they permit "in" and who they will run out. But those people in the other depts seemed very friendly and warm.

typical day was very busy with reports and assisting customers on phone or walk-ins. Had great co-workers, we were a true team. Hardest part of job was handling phone calls of people who had water turned off for nonpayment. Enjoyed the people and wide variety of responsibilities

I worked there an an extern for the summer of 2016.  Found the people to be very helpful and inviting. A typical day for me would be to research different legal topics, help out attorneys with any legal matters, review contracts and requests to purchase and drafted legal documents.
