Town-of-Castle-Rock

Although the Town of castle rock has a decent work life balance and salary my experience with them was nothing short of horrible.
Where do I begin 
-  poor training ( I mean non existent.)
- totally terrible coaching and was left in the dark. 
-  super political atmosphere ( if you're not pro Confederate good luck.)
- Boss told me he hated people who "batted for the same team" (like really dude its 2019 who cares.) 
-  Bureaucracy like you wouldn't believe. 
-  Politics in the workplace 
 I had to take two months off because I broke a bone, before I left I had a good performance review. Upon returning was given a horrible review and was fired over "poor performance". Even though I was an experienced and exceptional employee. Now I'm left with all these medical Bills and living expenses. I've even considered suing. They're an At will employer and will fire you for anything. So do yourself a favor if you have loved ones or a family stay away!!!

Absolutely the worst place to work. Poor managment practices and bad co-coworkers. Everyone is out for themselves and will throw you under the bus to advance their own careers. You will not learn anything as there is no training and you can't get any kind of a raise until you finish the training required. You will be required to work graveyards if you accept the job but everyone else doesn't have to work them if they complain about it. There are special people that get special treatment and don't have to play by the rules everyone else is required too. Also, managment is too scared to comfront anyone so things go unchanged or corrected. They will also not keep any concerns you express confidential and use the complaintants name when addressing the issue with other employees. You either on the in or your out. Don't work here! They have a 705 turnover rate for a reason.

Management is not good. Focused on things that don’t matter and ignoring relevant issues, don’t care about staff, overworks staff, awful communication, very short staffed but nothing is being done to accommodate that. Never ask staff what we think could be done to improve the environment for us to do our jobs well. They don’t make expectations clear across the board. They don’t look for solutions that could assist in the issues we have enforcing the rules (some of which are honestly stupid). Most of your day is spent dealing with entitled people who don’t have any decency in how they treat you because you are just another minimum wage employee to harass for them. There are better jobs for the same pay or more, this one is not worth it. It’s a shame because many people used to enjoy working here, and they have driven a lot of their staff away. 

The department doesn't follow their values and personal guidelines. Nothing is enforced unless it's in the companies favor, never for the employee. Forget about HR helping. All of them the brush things under the rug together to save their reputation and funds.  
- No training and support
- Terrible leadership from the top down
- Good boys club exists
- Toxic political atmosphere in all areas
- Lowest paying department within 1 hour radius
- Job descriptions are altered and you'll be forced to do things you never consented to. "And other duties" is where they get you. Think your not shoveling snow, working an unbalnced schedule...think again.

Your experience is going to depend on the management you have in your department. I worked for the town for nearly a decade the first half dozen years were wonderful the last few were awful, the only thing that changed was management and Hr. I will say the town will let a department burn to the ground before they change a bad manager out. I saw this happen in multiple departments on multiple occasions. Also the last couple years I was working there hr changed directors and the new administration is not very worker friendly to say the least. 

As a lifeguard, one is required to maintain the cleanliness of the pool, watch and maintain safety, activate the emergency action plan in a life or death situation,and work as a team.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with adults who don't follow rules. My philosophy was just always stay nice and smile. 

The most enjoyable part was that as a group we were able to work together very well. I made very good friendships with a few co-workers. Again, this job is very team oriented.

Answer phones, post job openings, log job applicants, provide internal and external information to employees and the public.  Filing and creating informational posters.  Customer Service.  The Town was nice to work for, communication was a plus.  It was nice to be busy and was nice to work as a team.  I was hired as a Temporary Human Resource Technician Assistant for the Town of Castle Rock until I was hired full time by the Town of Castle Rock Utilities Department.

I worked for the IT department which was a good environment and enjoyable work. However I was hire to work as a specifically with an different department which was a horrible and negative experience. It was a very poor environment which was managed from the bottom up with less than desirable results.

In my case, I work part time as a fitness instructor.  I teach classes because I enjoy teaching and attending the classes!

Pay is ok, the Rec Center facility is a little dated in some areas, but still nice.  Biggest room for improvement - my manager is actually a bit too little involved, amount of communications is often lacking, but the few interactions we do have are good.

Depends if you like people watching and dealing with little kids. You always have the possibility of something happening over your head. But other than that it isnt a super hard job and you get to meet alot of people. Just you dont get much down time and it is pretty stressful.
