The Columbus Water Works is a great place to work for any individual (man or woman) in which choose a profession in the waste water industry. A typical day at this organization consist of orders either drawn up from coordinators or managers, involving the renewal of sewer/water lines. The work is typically of high dexterity and physical. As an employee of the Columbus Water Works, I learned every phase of the Field Services Division which include: Television of Sewer lines, replacement of sewer/water mains, administrative work which involves analysis skills, oral & written communication skills. Management with the Columbus Water Works make sure all employees in the Field Services Division are cross trained to take on any task. However, the room for growth with some managers are limited because of educational purposes, therefore, others feel as if some in management knowledge of today's new technology limits their subordinates in doing his or her job. The morale among co-workers are great. After working with many of the other employees for close to five years, it felt like being around family 5 to 6 days a week, and many are still close friends that I would trust with my life. The hardest part of the job would become the physicality of some of the positions in which the work need to be performed, however, after gaining experience you soon find out if properly supervised it is not that hard at all. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing the individuals that you are working with care just as much as you do about the safety and wellness of their fellow co-worker as much as you do!

I arrive at my office at 7:00am every morning. Review reports from the night before that my deputy coroners entered into our data base. Check out my email acct., facebook page in order to wish friends, co-workers, etc. happy birthday greetings. Then I'm ready to face what ever the day may bring. Basic administrative duties, conversations with the GBI and families that we serve.
I am an elected official, Muscogee County Coroner and answer only to the governor of the State of Georgia and the citizens of Columbus.
Hardest part of my job is when I have to tell a next of kin that their love one had died. I have to do this two to three times daily.
The most enjoyable part is knowing that I have paid respect to the decease and their families and have done the best job possible for them. I look at the professionalism, integrity and morals that it takes to do my job and I am rewarded many times over with personal satisfaction.

I have multiple years of sales, marketing and business development. I'm looking for something that would bring me personal developmental satisfaction and fill the gaps in the down time that I have during the day.

I would certainly be an asset to your company and would excel in developing this territory as I have with previous companies.

As a Police Officer on patrol duty every day was different in terms of the people that I would encounter, my work environment, or a special detail that would take me from my routine duties. Some aspects of the job was routine because of policies and procedures in terms of how things would have to be done.  There was always an element of danger and a level of officer safety that made my career exciting.  Critical and fast thinking was a must and time was always of the essence in order to complete lengthy incident reports.  Making judgment calls on what was ethically, morally right and following laws/policies/procedures.  The most difficult part of the job for me was servicing domestic violence situations and incidents that involved juveniles in very sensitive situations.  The most enjoyable parts of my career was the bond between my fellow officers, actually making a difference in a victim's life by my help, being able to be an influence/role model to juveniles, and being able to grow in terms of being promoted within an agency.

A typical day of work consisted of my going out into the field to gather data to compile into reports. This data ranged from utility usage of county buildings, building repair and conditions to actual meters of various utilities. I would spend half of my day out of office and the rest at my desk inputting data. This job required an extensive knowledge of Microsoft Excel. 
   This job mostly helped me hone my skills in data presentation, upper level management cooperation, and project flexibility. My tasks and objectives would change almost daily, and it was important that I was always in contact with the supervisor of my project and with my coworkers. 
   The office environment was always friendly and helpful. When in doubt about direction or method, I could always find someone who could assist me. My coworkers were helpful and were task oriented. 
   The hardest part of the job was learning the new equipment used by the city. This was not too hard to overcome thanks to the optional training courses offered through the HR department. The most enjoyable part of the job was the flexible hours. I could fit this job into my course schedule and still complete my tasks on deadline.

This is a workplace where the majority of the people are wearing masks! Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing! If you should take a job here, be sure to pray daily and ask God to keep you covered and His hand upon you because you will forever need to be under His protection in order to survive! I've never seen so many people full of pride!  So many people so insecure and threatened by others simply  doing their job. Yes! I said by doing their job.  Not by doing their job better than them. Just by coming in and doing their own job, not contributing to gossiping, not partaking in foolishness, not trying to join their clique, but simply doing what they were hired to do. Unfortunately, this place turned out to be a cesspool of all of the aforementioned and more! It was very disappointing to have to endure this with people people who are supposed to be professionals; most with college degrees.  I just learned that simply makes them more calculated. An education doesn't change your heart/soul! Applicants beware, mindful, and safe! 

This job consisted of providing recreation opportunities for adults with special needs like autism or other developmental disabilities.  Many of the recreational events focused on teamwork, communication, and building life skills.  I learned quite a lot about different developmental disorders, and how to effectively communicate to and provide enjoyable recreation opportunities for a wide variety of needs.  I worked side by side with a few coworkers and we often took turns in leading classes as to avoid burnout.  The job was enjoyable and I took great pleasure in seeing the happiness in the participants' faces.  Talking with them also enabled me to see many unique perspectives on life.  The job did come with many challenges, though, as sometimes it was a delicate balance to keep everyone happy and also make sure the recreational programming stayed on time.

A few great co-workers..thats the only reason I stayed 3 months....Prior to starting work here, I had almost 2 years experience as a Correctional Officer in NC, already graduated from an academy,  this place was making me go to another JUST to be allowed to have handcuffs on my person.  

Told me I was going to have to be pepper sprayed at the academy but there is no pepper spray usage at the prison.. strange.

Management was horrible from top to bottom.  The warden was clueless.  I asked my immediate supervisor at least 4 times for extra uniforms (WAS ONLY ASSIGNED ONE).  Was told it was my place to get my own uniforms.

Inmates were allowed to smoke and every dorm had DIRECTV with an HD tv.  Unbelievable.  

I was placed on the night shift and the only fights I had to observe or problems was between officers.

I said Goodbye.  Walked out.

Very interesting position, new for my experience and challenging. I was very happy with the learning curve and my ability to adapt to the new environment. My duties consisted of monitoring the storm infrastructure and documenting it for the engineers of the city. I was able to bring my expertise to play due to the lack of experience of my co-workers. Hardest part of this position was organization of areas being studied by city engineers. The most gradifying aspect of this position was finding problems in the infrastructure and pointing them out to the proper persons.

Extremely toxic workplace which values backstabbing and half-truths along with a " I can do it but your fired for even thinking about it" mentality.  Some of the officers are great people when they first start but after several years the environment destroys their integrity. If you are well regarded by the command staff/sheriff you can do anything but if your unpopular they will dig for trivial dirt just to get you into investigations which will always result in termination if they see fit. This agency's culture isn't uncommon in law enforcement but it definitely personifies the notion that in this career you can work 15 years without any mistakes but one minor or major error can end everything based on the Sheriff's/Chief's discretion.

The overall team of CCG works hard but are not compensated for it. Individuals who have worked for company for over 10 years have vested hard work and time and not paid well for it.  Low Employee Morale, Limited Advancement Opps, Need More incentives to keep new talent. Should offer better retirement package to promote new talent and fresh perspective to work environment. Senior Management should look for more intangible benefits to increase employee morale (tele-commute, flexible work schedule).

The individuals you work with will make it worth the experience, however if you are looking to be paid what you think you are worth, the city does not use the resources available to do so.
