City of New Orleans

I worked at NOEMS for 11 years, only left because I wanted to travel before I became to old to physically do so, NOEMS is a great place to work if you have a strong work ethic, are not opposed to hard work, long hours, overtime for a city that has many events, festival s etc, that must be staffed, pay is very competitive, benefits are good, education is wonderful, there are monthly education opportunities for recert, state of the art equipment, power lift stretchers, and the list goes on, however if you are the type of medic that needs constant supervision, calls in sick slot or has huge ego that needs constant stroking, this is not the place for you, this is a very busy 911 service, that has no time for trouble makers or needy people, the PT's come first, customer service is priority no matter what the call is.

Being in my late 20's, I can see how the older generation becomes content on staying in a 8-4pm job for 40 years. My personal manager/director was GREAT (honestly couldn't ask for a better one). She definitely would try to fight for you the best she could esp when it came to compensation. Personally, I am not use to sitting in a desk talking with people (the public) that generally could care less about what you're saying (basically making no impact in their lives). The work is very slow paced, unless you have many people to see that day. The compensation from NOHD is TOO LOW to obtain AND remain competitive in the job market for the US, especially if you have a Masters. I am still unable to grasp why the pay is too low when rent in expensive in Orleans parish. NOHD can't retain young, vibrant workers! Pay needs to increase if they want to get ahead and stay with the times. Its always who you know when it comes to LA civil jobs!

A typical day of work consists of helping the citizens of New Orleans with Fire service needs.  For the past 17 years I have learned that the fire service is more than just the red trucks arriving at fire scenes.  The department is concerned with preventing fires as well. However, the management of the department shifts regularly so there is always change with is not easy.  

The workplace culture is fine but could use some changes in building morale and showing appreciation to the staff.  The hardest part of the job is lack of communication from the management which dampers the work flow.  The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help others.

Worked within a very corrupt management structure in the City of New Orleans (CONO). Engaged six months after Katrina hit New Orleans. Responsible for planning processes for subsequent hurricane events--very bad initial situation, e.g., the IT computer systems were located in the basement of the official state government building, obviously subject to flooding in case of a hurricane. Focused on the processes of setting up backup plan for coping with another hurricane by moving IT support to a remote facility, evacuating the city including accommodating pets (major issued with Katrina) and people with bed-ridden ailments. 

Also carried out other projects with Slipglass.

As a New Orleans Police Officer, it was good helping people in the community, assisting and follow up with youths when they violated truancy. 
Having direct communication with businesses and persons in neighborhood strengthen the positive relationship between the N.O.P.D and the entire community.  
There were times when violators of the state & city law tried to control the community with their money and drugs.  
Holding community meetings and visiting the elementary schools informing everyone that we were there to keep them safe and not to put everyone in jail.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The City is a terrible place to work!  You get blamed for things you cannot control.  The management does not support people who have to make decisions regarding contractors.  very unprofessional.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No support from supervisors.  The people who are suppose  to support the project managers try to pawn off their work on you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible communication with coworkers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Contractors try to undermine the project engineers.  Management always sides with contractors.

A typical day consist of finding resources fior my clients, and preparting for a visit with the client. I am always armed with something that I can pass on to client such as information.I learned that each client has a unique need and approach. Lately, management has had a " make the client find it else where " approach. My work place culture is amazing I get a chance to inter act with kids almost everyday, because my office is located across from the W.I.C office.The hardest part of my job is having young mothers who are not aware of basic information on breastfeeding, skin to skin and SIDS. The most enjoyable part of this job is knowing that the information that I give to my clients has a positive effect on thier family.

The work day involves depositing checks, bank reconciliations, general ledger reconciliations, printing accounts receivable checks, completing monthly financial statements, communicating with other city employees in order to get documentation and pertinent information to complete job tasks, and responding to management requests. Equipment needs to be updated. IT for the City of New Orleans needs a complete overhaul. If computers and printers are not working, no work can be done. The most enjoyable part of the job is the Christmas social when we can take a break and socialize together.
