I need to be me, helpful, happy, positve, a teamplayer and not afraid of something I said or do thats just not me
Guide, and Lockbox (Current Employee), Olympia, WA – August 23, 2012
Pros: knowing that i have support from some co-workers, people willing to help others without an agenda for them. true real friends who are your friends.
Cons: negative, micromanaged, no happiness, alot of complaining from co-workers, phoney people
A typical day at work is opening and sorting mail, batching appeals and a lot of prepping and indexing of confidential documents. My work departmen is micromanaged, no smiling, laughing, talking positiveness and very little noise. I enjoy my co-workers just wish we were able to communicate and learn from each other, but thats not a plossable situation. – more... The hardest part of my job is not being myself, I am very outgoing, friendly, compassonate, care about others and being a whole teamplayer everyone included. My most enjoyable part are the real people, the people who care, and supportive of others, honest people. I have worked in the private sector most of my life and working for the state is so very very different. I do apologize for the negativity but its honest and the truth, I see very little happiness from others and that does not make for a good enviroment. – less

Great place to work each day is a different challenge.
Unemployment Insurance Specialist III (Current Employee), Seattle, WA – May 19, 2012
Pros: great potlucks, lots of food.
Cons: state employees have taken a 3% pay cut, hours cut to less than fulltime.
A typical day at work is different all the time. I speak to more than 40-50 people a day about there unemployment claim. I spend time writing decision about unemployment.

There are always trainings, updates about unemployment laws, extentions, and policy update.
