Clayton County Government

The foster care system is overwhelmed in the county in which I reside and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), I am able to directly give-back to children through impartial representation of their needs. I have gained knowledge in both assessing best interst/s for child/children, as well as the juvenile court system because of monthly visitation, writing of reports and testifying in court. CASA is a wonderful organization to be affiliated with as a volunteer for abused and neglected children in Clayton County Georgia. The most difficult part of the job is witnessing the scope abused children who are in
foster care through no fault of their own.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No best part of working in CCPS. It was horrible. Nepotism wreaked. No integrity and honesty at the school I worked. They are bullies. Principal and Instructional Specialist are evil and dishonest.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I got a panic attack every morning and lived in utmost fear daily. Administrators orchestrated evil plans against me. I fled!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A nest of piranhas. Turf protection. Most teachers say that they are suffering but they have their bills to pay so they suck it up. You better be a part of the sorority to get a pass.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible. Constantly having to defend myself from the principal and Instructional Specialist.

A typical day at work involves micromanaging and watching other people do the bare minimum. Management is horrible. Those in management tend to be friends/family and they often show favoritism. The workplace culture is nonexistent at its best and toxic at its worst. The hardest part of the job is showing up every day and having to smile through the favoritism. The most enjoyable parts of the job would be the lunch break and when it’s time to clock out. Don’t believe the hype, this place isn’t worth your peace of mind. 

You have the benefit of receiving a performance merit every year but you don’t really see a difference because of taxes. In the past two years we’ve received a COLA but there’s still a struggle trying to keep up with the continued inflated cost of living. 

It’s all about who you know, and not what you know. Many people progress when you’re favored over others that are actually qualified. Education requirements aren’t honored when you’re liked by higher ups, you just get the position. So you find yourself being stagnant in a position for long periods of time hoping you come across a chance to advance.

A typical day included answering phone calls from county Records Managers who had questions about which records to destroy and/or the retention periods for their records. I also visited various offices in order to conduct workshops in Records Retention and Archiving. I managed a staff of four Records Clerks.  My staff and I were housed in a 60,000 sq foot building where we managed over 46,000 boxes of records that belonged to Clayton County offices.  The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that my staff would deliver the records to the courts and police departments that were needed for important cases.

Start work @ 8:00 handle work order tickets and go out to the different buildings/departments to either deliver phones or instruct users on the how-to's.  I started out on the Front Desk helping customers with replacing parts to equipment to writing up work orders for the bay techs to make repairs.  My co-workers are fun and outgoing.  The hardest part of my job is when I have to crawl under desks to get to the phone jacks.  But the most enjoyable part of the job is when I get to go out to the different departments and meet the people I talk to over the phone.  Work ends @ 5:00 and I enjoy having the weekends off to enjoy quality time with the family.

When I first began working with Clayton County Elections & Registration, I had never worked with voting and registration. But once I was hired as an advance clerk, I was shown the ropes. It is a lot of work but it is a lot of fun. I had people that would train me on the whole process. I found out that there is more to voting than what people see. I thank everyone that anything to do with my training and working at precincts and at the courthouse. I have learned a whole lot and would do it again if they ever need me. 

A typical day at work would encompass contacting victims from cases of domestic violence and keeping them updated. I learned so much within the criminal justice system. Management was great and always  helped when help was needed. The culture of the job was amazing. The hardest part of the job was doing court proceedings via zoom. The best part was knowing that I was able to help different victims overcome their fears and stand up for themselves. 

A typical day consisted of one on one interaction with applicants seeking employment. 

I learned that the job market in this particular part of Georgia was very minimal.

Management was very Stringent in her duties.

Co-workers were a joy and very cooperative as a working team.

The hardest part of the job was trying to explain to applicants that they did not meet the minimum qualifications for a particular position.

Actually working with the public was the most enjoyable part of the job.

My duties includes, but are not limited to enforcing state and local laws, writing report, investigating calls for assistance, issuing uniform traffic citations, surveillance, accident investigation, maintaining public safety and order through active patrolling and the analysis of traffic patterns while exercising my discretion in the performance of my duties.
