Since this is Sky Harbor airport, a typical day can either be slow or very fast paced, the responsibility and expectation at the airport is very high. 

I've learned to work in a fast paced environment and still remain calm.

Management needs some work. The workplace is very hostile at times, management does not step in when it should, too many employees are out of control. There are no policies and procedures in writing, other than what the city has provided, therefore I see others not taking their jobs very serious nor is there courtesy to fellow employees. Friendliness is an issue as some don't seem to like their jobs.

The hardest part of this job is the instability of the network. There are too many problems that simply should not be and they're not being addressed, which causes frustration and ultimately poor attitudes.

The most enjoyable part of this job and working at the city is the benefit of still being able to look forward to having a pension, if you so desire to put in the time and effort to stay.

A typical day at work for me consist of doing classroom visits, I have a case load of 80 families and parents come to my office to discuss their family goals and helping them achieve their goals by providing them with community resources available. 
I have learned that each family and their members have to be treated individually and that I really enjoy working with the different cultures.
Our management division is always supportive and is open to new ideas as long as it for the benefit of the families in our program.
I have 10 co-workers in the same office and we all offer a unique approach to working with families and we work as a team and are supportive of each other.
The hardest part of the job for me knows that there are situations and circumstances that cannot be change no matter how hard we work because they are out of our control.
The most enjoyable part of the job is when the families reach their goals. This is a big deal for me because I am bilingual and I can see the progress with some families up close and I get to work with them for 2 years.

Bad place to work! Water Service Department is the worst department in the city of Phoenix in my opinion. The job itself was easy the problem was upper management & HR. If upper management has it out for you they will retaliate, harass, & make your existence at work as hard as possible. Since they cannot just fire you they will make it so painful to force your resignation. You would think you could turn to HR for behavior that would be considered unprofessional per the city’s own policies, Wrong!! . HR does not care about your feelings, mistreatment, or concerns. As a matter of fact if you bring an issue to HR about upper management they will pretend like they will investigate but never actually do. They will go through the motions but in the end they all try to protect each other. Upper management & HR ( those who been at the city for 20 plus years) are on their high horse and treat & look at new employees as they are beneath them. Bad experience overall with the city.

Start with receiving applications for badging and fingerprinting, help customer with their complaints in a timely manner. Operated the front desk and communicated via telephone with customers, make photo pictures on the computer for the customers and fingerprinting on special computers. Performed data entry via windows. Filed and scanned applications and completed task in a timely and efficient manner. Assisted with cash operating system and log in, and met FAA requirements for Badging and Computer Fingerprinting.

Lean that client is the customer and they came first.

Management time on the 911 Incidence and completed the task on rebadging all employees and customer that work on the airport, in a timely manner, thus achievement/Award.

We repected one another on the job.

There was no hard part for me on the job. I enjoy the job that I work on.

The most enjoyable part of the job, was the holidays. Three to four days off sometime.

On a typical day I may receive requests for a new lease or license, prepare, place market rent search from appraisal section or calculate short term rent with predetermined process.  Prepare and execute leases, lease amendments, etc. Receive notification that a property was acquired for demolition; inspect property: take photos, order utility abandonments, board up, fencing.  Follow up with vendors or work being performed on rental properties, sign relocations, etc.  The management is supportive of their employees.  City employees always strive for diverseness, cultural awareness, and getting to know one another on a more personal level.  I enjoy the "hard parts" of my job so I really have nothing negative to say.  I enjoy the wide variety of things that I am responsible for and am sure I left out a LOT of little things on my responsibilities but there are just too many to list :  )

In a typical day you would start at 6am check the board so you know who's  team your on.  Go outside and check the vehicles ( Dump truck, crew truck, pickups) fill up the water in the back collect all the parts needed for that day, fuel the vehicles.  Once the crew leader decides he's ready drive to the job it could be anywhere in phoenix.  I worked out of reservoir yard so everyday we replaced valves on the water main.  Once on the job we pull off all equipment, that should take about 30 minutes.  After that is accomplished we jackhammer the street and the crew leader begins digging with the backhoe.  We take turn digging from backhoe to hand digging unless there is something in the ground then we hand dig the whole hole.  Once the broken valve is unearthed we have a vavle man turn off the water and we break the pipes at both ends and replace the valve.  Back fill tamper and lay black top

You can be very happy in your personal life when working here. You know your job is secure and you have ample PTO, insurance, and retirement. If you take time off they don't hassle you about it, they simply pay others overtime to cover your shift and other people are glad to volunteer for the overtime. You have annual reviews with clear goals and raises. You're not walking on eggshells wondering if you'll be fired, and they're not dangling a carrot in front of you for a raise. There's opportunities for advancement and management encourages it, even if it means leaving their section. There is no backstab culture amongst peers, everyone gets along. The only bad was the "not my job" culture that some people have, and it can be found from the bottom to the top.

When I first started as a Lifeguard for the City of Phoenix it was all excitement because I got to work with nice people and got to play water basketball with the kids. At work, it taught me how to be patient, be a role model to the kids showing up every day and they taught me how to become a good Lifeguard when I was there. The management was not good or bad, it was just awkward because they did not know how to interact with us but everything was at ease. Other than the management, the culture in the workplace was very interacting, good communication, and lots of fun because we became close. I believe the hardest part of the job was when we were short on staff, that would just ruin our day because we are out in the sun for almost an hour and had 10 minutes down to cool down and drink water. But other than that, the enjoyable part of working there was meeting the community, being able to swim, play and have fun with everyone that showed up.

Great employer to learn new or advanced skills with their many training classes specifically, computer and office professional skills. Good starting pay with excellent benefits and off on numerous holidays. Many opportunities to advance. I enjoyed my job because of the many duties I did daily. I was able to advance my computer skills with the classes they offered. I had the opportunity to help the public with questions they had, input data into various databases and worked as lead accounting clerk. Awesome co-workers and team environment! Hardest part of job was in a government position if a co-worker wasn't doing their job, it took forever for supervisors to deal with or resolve situation, because jobs are protected in the government sector. I had great supervisors that we're always willing to help. I enjoyed the many hats I was fortunate to wear daily in learning many new duties in my department.
