City of Jacksonville Employer Reviews

Changes,inexpereince lies deciept........was a good job now its the worst.........

Working at a pool is never dull. You keep swimmers safe. And work out and the pool clean.

Benefits are good, but the pay is low and the work requires heavy lifting on a regular basis.

My experience at the General Counsel's office was very rewarding. The attorney's took pride in educating young lawyers and law students.

i liked my boss
my co workers were great
I hate that I had to move would of continued to work there

The work was usually consistent. I learned a lot regarding Fema grant contracts; what's allowable/unallowable and the processes for obtaining reimbursements from State.

I loved working for the City of Jacksonville and what I've learned in the years working there was team spirit among my fellow co-workers. It was more like being around your family. We all celebrated birthdays, supported each other in times of need, death, etc. This included the Judges and attorneys. The Judges treated us not as employees or subordinates, – more... but as friends. They were supportive and listened to our ideas, suggestions on how to run the courtroom efficiently. The hardest part of my job was not arresting the defendants, but the listening to death cases during a trial. We would hear personal, graphic details on what the victim had gone through at the hands of the accused. – less

Productive
Learned everything I know today
Great coworkers with big hearts
enjoyed being employed there.

A typical day at work is not really typical I have no clue from day to day what it will be like. I run a community center with seniors they play pool, cards, bingo, craft class, exercise class and much more. But my seniors are different and have different needs everyday. They might want me to register them for medicaid, food stamps, apartments etc.. – more... Some days i have to work in the kitchen and help serve lunch. We rent out the buildings for the weekend so I have to keep up with dates and contracts of rentals so we won't have double booking. – less

Working for the City of Jax/Library was a nice place to work. I learned how to manage and deal with the public as well as my co-workers. Hardest part of the job was sometime dealing with the public when things didn't go there way.

Working here was great fun. The supervisors were great and I learned so much working with this company

Every day you learn something new, from customer or your co-worker, the hardest part of job is keeping up with all the new changes. Best part of the job is knowing when a customer is happy with the end results

I have been employed with the City of Jacksonville for almost 6 years. Working with the City for the most part has been a positive experience there is little room for growth and not much sense of teamwork.

its a wonderful place to work with great co-workers and a great working environment.

A typical day at work could expose you to many hazards, such as all weather patterns because we work outdoors. You must stay attentive because it requires you to ride on the back of a garbage truck. The worst that can happen is you fall off the truck or be crushed by the packing system of the truck, The least that can happen to you is a tree branch – more... hitting you hurting you badly or swiping you off the truck. Your coworkers are hardy hardworking guys who speak off the cuff and use a lot of colorful language. The hardest part about the job is once you finish your own route of collecting tons of garbage, yard-waste, or recyclables, you are often required to help out on an extra route for a few hours! It can be exhausting when doing a second route in extreme weather climates! The most enjoyable part of the job is when everyone shows up for work and you work your smallest route of the week oftentimes getting off before noon but getting paid as if you worked a full 10hr day! Finally, its great to work only a 4-day work week. – less

This was an enjoyable place to work for. I was able to meet many people since I was the first to greet you when you enter into the door this was a company that care a lot about helping children get the best learning and care during and after school. My co-workers where committed and helpful if you need help and they could do it they would.The part I – more... enjoyed was the learning prospect when I first went there I knew nothing about Power Point, but I learn and became very good at it and enjoyed it more. – less

respond to complaints and malfunctions of signals all over the city.

pay was good. everyone got along with everyone and was a family-type atmosphere.

I learned how to handle and diffuse difficult customers. I also learned how to get along with co-workers who were different and had a different outlook on the workplace than I did.

Let go of all institutional knowledge with no regard for employee contribution.
