City of Houston Employer Reviews

I loved working for the Company and utilized my skills which made for a rewarding day.

I love working what I like to do, that was working with the kids.

Shift begins at 0630. I usually arrive 15 minutes earlier. Checkout all equipment. Assist coworkers in the daily clean up of the apparatuses and station. Wait for a call. In the mean time I will review protocols and do some extra reading.

delivered supplies throughout the Houston Airport Systems and City Hall

The hardest part of the job is the weather. The best thing is that you have a company vehicle so you work alone.

A typical day at work included mowing grass and sanitation. I learned how to be a team player the management was good my co workers were enthusiastic and willing to help each other the hardest part of the job was working in the heat the most enjoyable day was completing my task and knowing my family was taken care of.

Excellent work environment, nice coworkers, best company to work

Great environment and workplace! I've really enjoyed the people, the energy and it's been a learning experience that will be great for me in the future.

Learned many new things working for the city of Houston. Great benefits fun place to work at.

I really liked working her.e The management was great and they were easy to talk to.

Work with great co-workers. Meeting new people and learning new stuff to move up the chain.

Public Works and Engineering is probably the most dynamic department in the City. From taking part in the City developments to assisting customers with their inquires, the tasks of an individual will vary throughout the course of their work. Regular challenges make this place a great career-developing opportunity.

Excellent compant for retirement. I enjoy working for the City of Houston and they provided me an oppurtunity to have a great work and family balance.

I've worked with the City for 3 years now. I don't get paid well but the benefits were great and the work environment was decent up until last year when things took a turn for the worst. They brought in new management and they started harassing us saying that we didn't do our work and ended up firing many of us. I guess it was because of the budget – more...  crises and they want to cut to reduce costs. I don't know. As far as I know, there was room for advancement before the budget crises but I've been trying to move ever since ive started with the city and I haven't been able to. Great place if you are looking for good health insurance. – less

I was a high school student doing summer works while on summer vacation and I had the opportunity to for the City Of Houston. It was a great experince.

The job its self was not difficult, but what make it difficult is the poor management skills that some management posses

Not a place for a highly motivated individual. Advancement opportunities don't come too often.

Working under Morris and with the storm water crew. was like working with family.good and bad days but I wouldn't change it for the world.Th e crews for the most part took pride in their work.

It is a decent place to work and learn how the government operates. A wonderful place to gain knowledge of building codes and guidelines
