City-of-Temecula

I was a part time project employee, so fully expendable. People will tell you how amazing you are and good at your job, but it is completely difficult to receive a raise or advance to a full time position unless you are someone's favorite or butter up the right people. You can apply to better positions, but they are usually given to someone already full time inside city hall. When you are a project, be prepared to do a lot but have people always think you are just a volunteer or see you as below the full time people. Residents and other local customers see you as their first point or only point of contact to the city so they will take all their anger on you since they can't get through to higher people immediately. Be prepared to do all the physical labor of set ups and tear downs that others push onto you. Especially since you are required to work events such as ones on the 4th of July where they will situate you directly in the sun for hours or force you to do tasks you are unsure you will succeed at. 

Your coworkers are what keep you sane. Management will see you as nobodies unless you are loud, but your coworkers in your actual building or department will be what get you through the good and bad times. If you learn to make friends with the right people, you gain some referrals for jobs outside the city. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. The organization is like a cliche in high school. They pump up their number saying every event is a huge success even if no one shows up and there is left over food etc. it’s really embarrassing. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leadership is awful. They lead from behind by pushing you. They do not set clear guidelines. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not inclusive of everyone. They seem like they are when your first hired but they are clearly not. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No direction from leadership. It is a very cliche environment and people are excluded.

Might as well be a family runned city. No accountability for giving others the explanation of themselves, I could be hired by two other jobs because the City Of Temecula is ineffcient with their time, shame on you if you don't belive in their same political mind sets you'd be turned away from moving up in the city, let alone you must know someone to give you a helping hand in a promotion, always bypassing truly amazing canditates who are more fit for a higher position. Becasue it takes 10 years just to be even considered for a higher fulltime position forget about benefits, everyone starts part time. Managment tends to be shy and avoids problem solving/ awkward conversations, there is no one to depend on to come and have an efficient conversation with a mutual solution in the end. 

BIPOC among staff (especially in higher positions) extremely rare despite the reality of the population the City claims to serve, and local culture/policy reflected this.
Bureaucratic workplace culture that slowed or hindered completion of basic tasks/projects.
Genuinely enjoyed collaborating with team and working to support the community but I also felt like our efforts to innovate our job was often disregarded when presented to supervisors.
As a part time employee, I felt second rate to actual staff due to lack of growth opportunity.
Was notified with the possibility of being reassigned at the start of the pandemic, but was laid off without notice once the first COVID lockdown announced.

Lifeguarding the public, teaching swim lessons in-water, filling out paperwork, weekly red cross training, customer service, interacting with the community, help with city-run events, organization. 
Difficult part of the job is dealing with unhappy customers and ensuring they obtain excellent service. Also dealing with responsibility of other people's lives which can be stressful. 
The team I worked with was very lively and encouraging. Working together as a team was very enjoyable and my supervisors always had the employee's best interests.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The atmosphere was great. My manager allowed me to work alone. My opinions were recognized and appreciated.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Actually can't think of a time that I was ever stressed working there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pleasant. The management would hold fun activities, events and luncheons thru out the year to recognize employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I had my responsible project that  I would work on without being disturbed.

Being confidently aware of what it takes to run a busy and successful permit counter, as Community Development Technician, with The City of Temecula, I facilitated the administration of daily operations. Tasks such as providing customer service in permit processing, fee verification, assessment and payment processing, inspections, plan check processing, plan review, approval and permit issuance, report preparation, and ongoing communications with internal and external customers.

Working there was a fun experience, but you're expected to do a lot of tasks that often go unnoticed. Hours were very flexible, so I was able to focus on school. 

Management is not open to suggestions or improvement. Forced to work weekends, was told I was at the bottom of the totem pole so I had to do the things that no one else wanted to do. Scheduled to work all events no one wanted to work back to back. Poor office morale.

Provide networking/desktop support and SQL/ updates/maintenance and perform mainframe and account maintenance tasks. Earned commendations for teamwork, flexibility and work excellence.
