City of Sacramento

I had just moved to the city and was looking for a job as a new high school graduate. Looking for a job without any college experience degree yet was a bit of a difficult task. 

This job seems to hire anyone as long as you have experience watching children which I had plenty of being an eldest daughter. 

This job seems to be ideal for high school graduates or current college students who are looking for part-time work. My location was a team of adults all in their early 20's to early 30's. A positive when it came to making some coworker friendships. But a negative when it came to focusing on workplace policies. There were plenty of younger adults had no care for this job and would be hooked on their phones rather than interacting with the kids. 

Although I myself enjoyed the job and made the best of it, there wasn't much enforcement for rules when it came to my other coworkers who had no care for the job. Supervision at times would be very hands off. It seemed as if they were just there to pass time. 

I'd recommend this job to those who like interacting with kids but have the ability to be hands on and independently take on tasks themselves. 

You'd also need the ability to travel to various locations around the holidays. Your schedule can vary around the school year calendar. Locations may close on holidays but you may have the option work on holidays at other locations around the city that offer to stay open on the holidays. So be prepared to travel around the city. 

This position also only has part time availability so there's really no advancement without specific college credentials. Good job but not ideal for those who want to excel in their position and make a consistent income. 

A typical day at work started with updating my boss on her meetings, messages, memos, ext. Then if needed I'd format agendas for meetings. I'd also make sure all of my bosses files and documents were in order. Various typical office tasks was an everyday thing. Any free time I had I spent on the Microsoft Office Training Program, I learned a few tricks to various office programs. Around lunch time I'd go get my boss something to eat if she was still in her meetings, so she can eat before heading to her next meeting. After lunch i'd make sure she had all of her meetings were re-updated, i'd also send out meeting requests if needed. I sorted all of her email to individual folders by person or topic. I'd typically end the day with making sure our office area was clean and organized and made sure all office supplies were stocked for the following day. My co-workers were very kind, there were quiet ones but I was quiet myself, I got along with everyone I never had any issue with a co-worker. They were all very enjoyable to work with and i learned a lot from them with work lessons and life lessons. The hardest part of the job was having to leave it for school.

A typicall day at work starting at 8:00 am meeting at the Sammuel Pannel community center and continue on to the 24th st corp yard. There we load the company van with the tools and supplies for the day and head out to the assigned parks for the day. completng all tasks for the day including a 30 minute lunch return back to the 24th street corp yard unload and stack tools and supplies clean and vacume out company van, take van to car wash and head back to Sammual pannel community center and end the work day. Working for L&L i learned how to work as a team and be a true provider of customer service. I also gained knowlege of orginization and how to handle tools and power tool in the proper manner. My co workers were considered each others back bones they were helpful and full of life which help keep the excitment and motivation throughout the job, without them alot of thing could not be done, best co workers ive ever had. the hardest part of the job would have to be cleaning the public restrooms due to the smells and trash but with motivations from co worker it gad gotten done. I enjoyed every part of my job there was not one non-enjoyable part.

This a great place to get your foot in the door if you are looking to work in Information Technology. My job includes providing IT related services to other city employees in downtown Sacramento. I also provide remote assistance and as well as documenting for inventory of computers and other equipment, such as printers, mobile phones, monitors. I have knowledge of also performing hardware prepare. Seriously, it is a fantastic job working a team who is very talented and very proficient at what they do. I always have coworkers who can help me. We work together as a team. My supervisor is a great person to get along with, so enthusiastic and able to check on me and my performance in the workplace and tell me what I need to fix. Not many supervisors do that. This is a great environment to work in. I enjoy it very much.

Overall, my position allows me for advancement at all times and gave me the opportunity to learn management skills. A typical day at work would be to manage a site of 112 students and 5 line staff. My job is to make sure that our After school program is providing a safe, fun and learning environment for our students. Facilitating and training my staffs to give the best and effective customer services to our families. The hardest part of my job is that when school is not in session we are not working and it does create a financial dent. Although, I love what I do for our young people and I've been with this company for almost 8 years. The most enjoyable part of my job is to see students attend our program and refuses to leave at the end of the day because they had fun. Making a difference in our young peoples lives is what I currently do.

Nepotism Nepotism Nepotism this position is not considered a “starting point” or a “foot in the door”. PEO’s are not appreciated and looked down on. There are several cases in which family and close family friends are give priority for positions. You get a 0.50 raise every year on a 15 year max pay. The supervisors NEVER HAVE YOUR BACK. Instead, they leave you to hang dry when an upset citizen challenges a ticket. This position can be amazing if they remove her (supervisor) and place someone who is more aware how to build culture in a workplace. This position was the worst position, in a great entity. You must wear a uniform that does not take into account the 105 degree weather, or the 42 degree weather with rain. The equipment that is provided barely functions, and always has problems. If there are there are other positions I recommend applying for those.

Students Check in, Supper is handed out, then student go to classrooms for homework time. After staff decided what to do for the day, either outside activity or enrichment project or both. Then later all students and staff return to cafeteria for parent sign out. I learned that for students and people in general to open up to you, you need to open up to them; this also leads to an open atmosphere for any type of communication. Also not everyone can be helped but that does not mean one should  give up. My Site Director was always on top of things as best as she could, but the management above her was unorganized and office politics slowed many things. For the most part staff worked well at site. Hardest part of the job was leaving because of the connections that were made there. The most enjoyable were those same connections.

City of Sacramento has various parks and recreation programs focused on the youth of Sacramento. This programs provides after school tutoring, enrichment activities and field trips. Many of students who come to the program are from low income families. They are able to come to these programs and have a free lunch, get help with their homework and be with their friends. The program includes various enrichment options including dance, step, choir, science and robotics and more. The management is very understanding to each students needs and allows the staff to create their own enrichment programs to meet these needs. Overall a great program for kids of all ages.

Man I enjoyed working my summer job, because how easy it was, and how by 1 pm, I was done. I had to get up, early and the morning and catch the bus, but other than that this job was a cakewalk. The kids I worked with, were great, and my coworkers were a fun group to be around. Orientation was a bit long, and boring, but I got paid fairly, and well for a part time job. I already had experience working this job as a volunteer, so I enjoyed my time at this job. The program lasted for a little over a month, so it wasn't really long, but everything worked out well though. If you want a low stress, chill environment part time job over the summer. This is your best bet.

Every day after breakfast I take the kids out to the playground.  They played until lunch time.  After that they would take a nap.  If the weather was cold we stayed inside the building more but we always made sure we spend some time outdoor.  I read them stories twice a day.  The director of the facility was a very nice a professional woman.  It was nice working for her. My coworkers were all about the same age and we got along really well.  The hardest part of the job was we had to clean the bathrooms, mop the floor, and clean up after the kids.  The most enjoyable part of the job was played games with the kids and heard their laughter.
