City of Syracuse

Pretriping truck daily, making sure lights are intact,fluids are properly filled, gauges & brakes are responding normally.
 Collecting waste along industrial & residential areas on designated routes.
Transporting materials to designated deposit site such as a recycling plant or incineration depository.
 Driving route safely,efficiently, while maintaining quality service to the public.
 Things are subject to change at times because of injuires but you have to make adjustments as you go. 
The most difficult thing i believe is dealing with the weather. We're out on the streets dumping blue bins & trash in all types of weather conditions. But you come to work as prepared as you can. 
 Dealing with on going traffic can be difficult, sometimes people can be really impatient. Plus just being on the back of the truck itself. You and your driver really have to be on the same page. It's a pretty dangerous job. What i enjoy is finishing working before most people get done with work.

6:00am to 2:00pm work shift . Arrive , assign responsibilities for the day , check and make sure all equipment is safe and operational, make any repairs or corrections and proceed . You are expected to  perform several different tasks throughout the day maintaining the same process for each . Management is a positive influence on the environment, letting you make all decisions concerning your facility .The culture is to provide the best possible product for the community to enjoy. The most difficult part of the job is making sure all equipment is mechanically sound every day. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the finished product you have strived for along with the people you have worked with to achieve this.

All jobs varried working here.  The roles of the highest importance were changing often.  New administrators ment a change in employees, policies, and prodecures.   Employees who had years of expierence and were the most qualified for promotions were almost always overlooked and ignored.  This causes little to no morale.  

First few years were great - initially felt supported and appreciated; sadly it didn't last. There is little to no room for advancement, bonuses were discontinued, felt more and more under appreciated with each year, and very often overlooked our department. Management makes it clear full-time employees are more valued and given accolades than part-time employees, but they hire mostly permanent part-time employees to avoid paying benefits, so they don't stay around for long.

Typical day consists of answering the phones, scheduling home and building inspections for home owners, tenants, and property managers through out the City of Syracuse. 

I learned a lot about having patience. 

Management and my co-workers were great.

Hardest part about my job was not always being able to give people the answers they were hoping for. 

The most enjoyable part of my job were the people i worked with and serving the citizens of the City of Syracuse.
