Office of City Engineers (Former Employee), Houston, TX – March 18, 2013
Pros: great benefits and healthcare
Cons: not having many restaurants in the area to choose from to eat
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

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.

Poor management
Paralegal I (Former Employee), Houston, TX – February 6, 2013
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.

The company is a great place to work.
Customer Service Representative II (Former Employee), Houston, TX – January 24, 2013
Pros: compensation, stable work schedule
Cons: politics
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
