City of Tempe Arizona

I don't even know where to start with this review. First, everyday going to work I felt unsafe due to the fact of having unsafe interactions with the homless people I and other coworkers had to walk pass everyday to get to the office because we were part of the employees with low seniority so we couldn't park at the parking structure attached to the building. When I brought up the fact that I felt unsafe nothing was done. They said there wasn't enough available parking, but later found out that was a lie. They had a whole level empty. A lot of the employees had to pay out of their own pocket monthly to park closer to work so we can feel safe. Second, management kept telling us they want us to be honest with feedback and concerns. However when we did, they acted very defensive and made us feel like all of the staff were in the wrong. It also felt like management were retaliating against other employees because of it. It's a shame management had to ruin this job for a lot of the employees because the actual job was not bad, and had great benefits. 

The city of Tempe on the whole is a great place to work for.  It has great benefits, they are trying to allow for more remote work and on the whole they care about their employees.  However, in IT, there is little room for advancement.  Sometimes its possible but it is VERY rare.  This is common with the IT industry as a whole but the city often talks about how their are opportunities to advance when there are not.  About Seven years ago they did hire more internally.  But for the last several years they go with outside candidates who will have more experience because you dont get the opportunities to get that experience.  You get pigeon holed and then stuck. 

IT Print production facility has ongoing problems with team leadership regarding communication, respect, extreme micro-managing, passive aggressive behavior and pushing out  team members. Issues had been pointed out for many years with many prior employees; however no action taken from department management. Benefits and pay are great, but the extremely negative and hostile environment of the area is not worth it.

I really enjoyed working for Kid Zone as a part of city of Tempe but my issues are with management and how condescending and irresponsible they are. I was a loyal employee for years, I put my two weeks in and left for a better opportunity. They said they were sad to see me go but I am welcomed back anytime. Well I try to come back for summer camp and they tell me I couldn’t because I didn’t put in a two weeks notice, even though I have proof and confirmation that I did. It’s really disappointing as I loved the job. 

Love my jop don't have any problems with the people I work with love the insurance Supervisor are great people they work with never been laughed or teased or made fun of they also provide free transportation there no hard part of the day learn how to load in a fast pace learn how to build walls stack to the top work place culture is fine what enjoy of my jop my pay check and my insurance 

I was literally terrified of the boss. not a nice person. they seemed to forget that teenagers were mainly working there and that you were getting paid minimum wage. had fun with coworkers though. good place to make friends if you can bond over misery. 

City of Tempe is over all a good place to work. Being a Municipal there is alot of red tape and who knows you. Tremendous lack of structure in the Maintenance area. No growth for experience Maintenance Crafts to advance. 

The pay and benefits are very competitive at the city. The police middle management is extremely toxic. The mid tier (commanders and lieutenants) are full of ego, incompetence and favoritism. I’d consider taking a lower paying police job at a better department if n the valley.

While a job in city government may not be appealing to most, for me it's a wonderful jumping off point for future job, opportunities, just wish they applied pay raises to partimets

I love working for the city. It is very fullfilling and the people are truly nice. The benifits are great and there is job security. It has good retirment benefits.
