Productive per information supplied
Office Assistant III (Former Employee), City of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan – January 11, 2013
Pros: free lunches
Cons: 20% per cent pay cut; health insurance increased.
In general, my 15 years at City of Detroit afforded me knowledge to help the average citizen with customer service needs. The hardest part of my job was telling the truth to the citizen, while knowing my company would not produce services promised. I was offered a management position, however I would not play games, so the offer was rescended.
