Columbus Consolidated Government Employer Reviews

As a Police Officer on patrol duty every day was different in terms of the people that I would encounter, my work environment, or a special detail that would take me from my routine duties. Some aspects of the job was routine because of policies and procedures in terms of how things would have to be done. There was always an element of danger and a – more... level of officer safety that made my career exciting. Critical and fast thinking was a must and time was always of the essence in order to complete lengthy incident reports. Making judgment calls on what was ethically, morally right and following laws/policies/procedures. The most difficult part of the job for me was servicing domestic violence situations and incidents that involved juveniles in very sensitive situations. The most enjoyable parts of my career was the bond between my fellow officers, actually making a difference in a victim's life by my help, being able to be an influence/role model to juveniles, and being able to grow in terms of being promoted within an agency. – less

Great place to work for a college student. A typical day is going to work at 11:00 am playing bingo with the senior and going to lunch and waiting on the kids to get out at 2:30pm. I love and enjoyed my co-workers. I would love to go back with better benefits.

A typical day at work consists in talking with citizens on the phone in reference to household garbage being missed or overgrown yards.,

I have learned that you have to be patient and listen to what the citizen is saying in order to ensure them that the problem will be resolved.

My coworkers did not take in consideration of others when logging off – more... the phone.

The hardest part of the job was trying to make sure all call backs was done before the close of business.

The most enjoyable part of the job was hearing the citizen on the other end of the phone very thankful. – less

The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing you are there to lend a helping hand to someone who is in need of police, medical, or fire attention.

Was an ok place to work.
Working with the public was good u can learn alot about a city by the people who run it.
Management could use revamping to many chiefs and not enough employees working together.
Some employees were good to work with but on the other hand some were out for themself and not team players.
Low starting salary when I was employed.

This city is controlled by the "Good ol' Boy" system and if you aren't part of it they WILL find a way to get rid of you by any means nessesary, legal or illegal. Most departments controlled by Office Bullies.
