City of Seattle is a diverse employer with great benefits
Management Systems Analyst (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – May 3, 2013
Pros: competitive salary and benefits
Cons: bus pass was not a benefit
Everyday was a great day to go to work. Staff/team was like a family. I didn't feel like I was going to work. I felt like I was just having a great time with friends. End users were the same - fun to work with and at the same time - learning.

A challenge with pressure of making systems reporting the most important aspect of this service.
Mental Health Counselor/Case Manager (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – August 31, 2012
The job was rewarding. However, as happens with many companies who make leadership changes, the end results are variable for workers. The job duties of this position took a sharp turn partly due to the economic climate and restrictions imposed by state legislation. I felt my job duties were difficult to manage due to the switch of emphasis of serving – more... our needy and most vulnerable citizens, the elderly and disabled who had little income and support systems. This service was not maneageble due to the constant changes and increasing state legislated systems reporting. The frequent shifts in leadership direction, and lack of information afforded our clients was difficult to face. I chose to transition from this job as I was ready to again meet the challenge of working within my field of expertise and applying my ethical standards of practice. – less

It was a good experience overall
Finance Analyst (Former Employee), Seattle – August 7, 2012
Pros: example: free lunches, etc.
Cons: example: short breaks, healthcare, etc.
I learned a lot about how to maneuver in bureaucracies and also a lot about efficiency. I was able to improve processes and reduce wasted time substantially by implementing technology solutions for programs and reporting. The toughest part of the job is knowing that there is an expectation that the employee stays where they currently are permanently – more... and not advance. The best part of the job is security. Security is important for people depending on their circumstances. – less

Great experience and networking
Scorer/Timer (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – June 24, 2012
Pros: great staff and great environment
Cons: seasonal
A typical day at work would consist of signing in to the "scoring/timing" book. After I signed in, I would set-up for the basketball games with my partner. The game duration was about 70 minutes total. After the game, my partner and I would clean up the gym to the original state. My total work time would be about 2 hours total, one day a week. The job – more... was simple and quick. I enjoyed the entire job and what duties came along with it. The job was not at all difficult to me ,but I did learn how to multi task more efficiently. – less

It is a great place to work and I highly recommend it
ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST I (Former Employee), Seattle – April 25, 2012
Pros: great benefits
Cons: wished it was closer to home
When I was at HomeWise I sent out applications to customers and assisted the front desk. While I worked for the City I learned a lot about multi-tasking. When I was at DPD I worked in a very fast paced environment and it was a challenge to get everything done. The most enjoyable part of the job was providing great customer service to my customers and – more... making them happy. – less
