What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits is the only thing that is good about here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You work really hard on something and someone else gets the credit for it. Unless you work up at town hall No one cares about you or your well being

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good 
Supervisor is in a bad mood most of the days of the week. Upper management promises a lot and delivers nothing. If you don’t work up at town hall they look down on you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start early  get things ready and planned out for the day, then get accused of not doing enough while other employees sit around playing on phone or computer

I typical day was usually nice and steady, but there were days that were very busy and it was sometimes stressful when so many people at once needed to be waited on and I was the only one manning the front window. When I saw patrons looking frustrated due to lack of help, I would ask for assistance.

Management was satisfactory. Co-workers were very nice. Hardest part was working alone when I could have had more help to accommodate patrons.

Most enjoyable part was being in a fun and happy workplace because of the nice patrons, and I got to know them by  name and made new friends.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Town offers stability and GREAT benefits, great co-workers, and room to grow.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It is a government job, so the sense of creativity and being an entrepreneur is not there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is very much a collective sense of getting things done and doing the best for the town and community.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There are a fair number of meetings and connecting with the necessary departments to get things done.

The Town of Oro Valley fostered a friendly work environment with employees who took pride in the work they did.  While there were minor issues with management and communication, overall I gain valuable work relationships and learned about many different areas of local government including marketing, development, local government procedures and legal services.

Pay is low and you are undervalued unless you happen to be someone's favorite. Some managers are great, others need remedial training. Leadership is questionable. Poor communication. Inconsistent between departments. Good benefits though, with a great on site health clinic.

If you are thinking about working at the Oro valley aquatic center, then this is a great first job. You will need to get your CPR and lifeguard certifications to apply. When this is done this job will be the most enjoyable job ever.

Hard to advance because of small organization. No care for employees.     Benefits are good with pto and sick leave and great retirement  it seems no matter how hard you work or much you learn nobody cares. If someone quits there is no rush to find replacements 

I enjoy working with the town of Oro Valley. The biggest problem is that part-time work is only authorized to work 19 hours a week. There is also a nine-month probationary period before you can apply for any internal job listings.

Okay place to work, close to home providing great transportation service to the elderly and ADA qualified people. Great training of drivers and continued education as well.

Benefits are great Management not so much.
Work life balance is also great 
Not many opportunities to move up or improve in current position. 
Overall, it is a good place to work if management improves.
