Work days would consist of dispatching, handing incoming calls. Issuing permits and Occupancy and Compliance to contractors. I learned a great deal of code enforcement policy. Management was great, and wonderful co workers. Hardest part of job was leaving. I enjoyed every task that was given to me.

Its a good side job but nothing for a career, compesation depended on the contract.

It was a very good experience for me, a typical day at work was at least 10-15 clients and i would input information into the database once they filled underground construction application, my co-workers were great and very friendly, the hardest part of my job was the first day of work because i had to learn the different database systems but once i – more... learned it it was very easy for me and the most enjoyable part of my job was the engineering firms we dealt with. – less

As an investigator, the job is rewarding despite the workload.

During my time with the City of Houston, I learned a great number of things. The education I received of the procurement process has been priceless. Learning how conduct bids, bids reveiws and how to manage federal, state, and local guidelines, allowed me to gain a greater knowledge of the procurement process.

Was happy to obtain a job with COH and then reality set in, horrible place to work, at least in the Legal Department. Low morale, no raises and absolutely no team players in the section where I worked.

I enjoyed working for the City of Houston. They give the true meaning of equal opportunity employer. I learned alot about how to deal with different personalities from maintenance to management. I also learned alot about how to properly service commercial trucks.

The company is a great place to work. Policy and procedures are not always followed by management. A typical day of work was doing a little clerical work such as checking and responding to emails, returning phone calls and checking the faxes. Then I planned where I was going for that day out in the field and I would go train and educate doctors, nurses – more... (at physicians offices and schools) and daycare staff on using ImmTrac. I would return to the office and complete the associated paperwork for that days' visits. I learned that you must be proactive all the time to succeed with the City of Houston. Management had a particular way of doing things. My co workers were awesome. The hardest part of the job was having to go home. I loved everything that I did at this particular job. It was definately a lot of work, but it was not too much for me. – less

typical day at work would depend on the sites im at intervention sites were the sites that we had to teach fitness and nutrition too the other sites we just had to watch the children until their parents came.
my coworkers were fantastic and easy to get alon with
the most enjoyable part about the job would be the children.

Overall it was good but there is some "who you know" attitude.

Daily routes and logging data entry for drivers. Office duties include faxing and telephone situations. Great co-workers and management team.

You work independently, but also get to go out into the community and work on different projects with under priviledged children in the community. Everyone is nice.

Very knowledgeable and was very helpful in finding me a job that was enjoyable
