U.S. Census Bureau Employer Reviews

The job was so easy. You were able to make your own hours. You get to work in your neighborhood or choose an area of choice. Didn't have to deal with co-workers except during training and when you had to report to supervisor.

it was a very interesting and chalenging job. I was sent into mostly bad neighborhoods

After 2 weeks training and certification I was assigned to an area in Gilbert, Arizona. I completed 3 books of data for the Census Bureau. My job was to locate the home, interview the occupants and report findings on the official questionare. I worked independently and managed my time well.

Meet leader every day before or after doing the Census. Learn how to become an enumerator by taking training classes for a week. Very flexible hours and fun people to work with.

Working at the Census Bureau my days were extremely busy. I hardly had time to sit and take a break, but I enjoyed it a great deal. A busy workplace is ideal for me, because I tend to work at a very fast pace. Usually, when I am done with my daily assignments I'm looking for other tasks to occupy my time. That was never the case in this office. We had – more...  a great team, and everyone did their part to keep the operations a smooth success. I am proud to have been part of that team. I was able to become a federally registered finger printer, I learned the entire operating system in one day, and I was able to quickly advance to the role of Executive Assistant to the Office Manager, who proved to be one of the best superiors I have ever reported to. Under her management I became solely responsible for creating, editing, and distributing the daily production reports, both inbound and outbound. I also, oversaw the progress of our door to door team, and collaborated with them in effort to facilitate their ability to complete their duties. – less

I loved this job because I enjoy working with the public, working alone as well as with a team, and performing self-directed tasks. The week of training was excellent. I met with my boss once a day to review my accomplishments. Otherwise I was on my own, meeting the public, and performing survey interviews.

Great temporary job during the summer. Would definitely sign up again in 2013.

job dea l with alot of walking and on hands work .many paper work to be done.

A great opportunity to make good money on a temporary basis.

This job was perfect for me, it allowed me to make enough money to survive, pay my bills, live comfortably, and it also gave me more time at home, a really flexible schedule, and an opportunity to meet lots of new people on a daily basis.

This was a temporary position, in which as an enumerator I would go door to door, collecting data from New York City residents. It allowed me to appreciate field work and expand my experience of customer service and with dealing with people. Overall this was a flexible position, during which I was able to fully step outside of my comfort zone, by speaking – more...  to and engaging strangers each day. Unfortunately, it was temporary. – less

Working for the Census Bureau was a great experience. I was able to work around my schedele of being a single mom. I had a great manager, she listened and worked with me. I've learned my neighborhood, places I never visited is famaliar now. My co-worker was a hard worker like me which in turn made us really good friends. The hardest part of this job – more...  was when it ended, the pay was great and I made my own hours. I really enjoyed meeting new people and working with new people. – less

A typical day consists of meeting with residents to complete their questionnaires and learning how each resident would react. I learned that I could make a difference. The management team encouraged a strict timeline to complete the assignments. All of my co-workers were great to work with on daily basis. The hardest part was trying to meet with some – more...  of the residents as they were not home. I enjoyed getting to meet some wonderful people. – less

everyday was different so it was a new experience everytime I went to work.

It was a good experience work with customers on there time , flexible hours , learned people a not very trusting in giving personal information even if you have an id. Learned to interact with people of different nationality. I enjoyed working with people face to face .

GREAT COMPANY BECASUE TEAM ENVIROMENT AND EXCELLENT BENEFITS.

Very flexible work schedule. You can almost set your own hours.

Great customer service experience since you deal with people on a daily basis. Working for the US Census was a great experience the only down side was that we didn't have any security there were various times I got attacked by dogs and was not able to have any defense objects...

Hired based on test scores, was immediately promoted to manager's assistant. Worked as Administrative Assistant, then as Crew Leader Assistant for training field workers, then as Public Relations.
As a Partnership Assistant, I promoted the 2010 Census activities to community leaders in the Black Hills region. I encouraged participation with the decennial – more...  census. I enjoyed traveling to nearby cities and meeting the local leaders. – less

Fast pace and kept me on my feet a lot. I really enjoyed it. Also had a great trainer.
