Houston-Galveston Area Council

My daily work day at Houston Galveston Area Council was provides information about and determines eligibility for Air check Texas Repair, and Replacement Assistance via telephone or regular mail
Help customers understand and apply for financial aid for the program in Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris and Montgomery counties. I learned how to approve customer for car voucher. Management was good always willing to help and keep us in form on new projects. There was no hardest part about it might've been challenge but was a great experience. The enjoyable part was working with my coworkers and managers.

Working with the Public Safety Program was a good experience for me.  I pretty much organized and scanned different types of documents for agency business. Created or updated logs for agency use.  Learned a lot about grants for law enforcement and non-profit agencies.  
Public Safety Program team is a very smart and professional group of people.  Fast paced and busy but relaxed. 
No hard parts, it was a great experience.
Friday morning at H-GAC were good, they always brought breakfast.

A political sub-division of the state of Texas.  Employed 18 years and enjoyed working with and around co-workers. Very positive atmosphere.  Travelled through the US marketing and promoting the cooperative purchasing program.  Engaged and discussed the program with purchasing personnel at all levels.

Keep your head down, do only as your told, no innovation or creativity encouraged. In fact those who are accomplished will not last long, pushed out by the cube sitters who just show up to collect a paycheck and do as little as possible. All departments are independent, no cross functional positions, no growth or promotional opportunities.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council provides planning services, social services, grants, SBA loans, etc. to governments, businesses, and citizens of the 13-county region surrounding Houston. 
I greatly enjoyed my job, coworkers, and the agency. It was an honor to serve our region.

There is a code of honor here when it comes to time slots. The office itself is beautiful, with a lot of different desks for different accommodations. The people here are nice, and discussion between departments is encouraged. Don't expect the usual employee to know much about technology, so it's a great beginning experience.

The people make the work place.
 
Management could be a lot better. People in place as supervisors (due to favoritism or longevity) that have no place being in those positions. 

Culture is old school but is starting to change. Need new blood infused into management. 

Quite a few discrimination disputes in the past due to old school culture and Directors!

Great place to work if your manager is gracious and a good leader. Mine is, thankfully. It is a COG so things are a bit old-fashioned but they are modernizing slowly. Many of the employees have been in their positions for 10+ years so people are comfortable. Good to have on your resume though.

Fun place to work. 
Good place to work.
OK people to work with
Ample time off when needed
The most important part of the job was working with intelligent, coopartive and working for a government agency.

HGAC is a fun place to work. Friendly folks who always celebrate other colleagues professional and personal achievements.  For example, birthdays, new born, graduation, etc. The pay is too low compared to other competitors. Favoritism and gossip is also a common theme. Buyer beware🙄
