Volunteer (Former Employee) – Arlington, VA – May 1, 2018
I was mainly in charge of the batting cages at Upton Hill. It was a pretty laid back job, sometimes customers got pretty agitated with the helmet rule, but we always handled it professionally.

Arlington County is an outstanding place to work. It is the county that is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to its community. The Arlington County government is very aware of the needs of its community and strives to be as inclusive as possible in the decision-making processes that guide life within the county. For those interested in working in Arlington County, you must be willing to be collaborative and creative in your day-to-day operations. The County seeks to maximize its resources and be responsive to its citizens, almost to a fault.

The public can be extremely demanding, service level is very high..
Public Safety Technician (Former Employee) – Arlington, VA – December 14, 2017
I enjoyed my time here overall. The division I was in was a little limited interms of career advancement. Overall the upper management had a lot of turnover which wasnt always a good thing.
Program staff (Former Employee) – Arlington, VA – September 26, 2017
I worked as a seasonal employee at county summer camps. As a summer employee, I didn't qualify for benefits or compensation, but I thought my hourly wages were fair. I advanced each summer. The full-time staff were friendly and supportive, and the job culture was great.
ASSISTANT COUNTY SURVEYOR (Current Employee) – Arlington, VA – September 7, 2017
Not enough money, but the benefits are very good. If you want a safe job this is the place for you. Working in a government environment does not have much opportunity for career growth.
This is a company with no moral's to their employee's
Human Service Aide V (Current Employee) – Arlington County, VA – August 17, 2017
Overall just not a good fit for people to work, if you do not have connections. There is not respect for their employees or their client's. I rather not share anything further.
Human Resources Specialist (Current Employee) – Arlington, VA 22202 – July 13, 2017
The County offers many benefits to employees and encourages work-life balance. I have never worked for a government organization that has so many options for employees. It's such a great place to work!

Managers may or may not have a clue as to your job but for the most time let you do what you should and don't bother you. The training is great and Job security can't be beat.

Breaks, Free Professional Development Trainings, Quick Advancements
Equipment Operator (Current Employee) – Arlington, VA – October 30, 2016
Quick and easy just like it should be. Thanks!.Arlington County was a good place to work, but over the years they had many change some are not for the good. It is all about numbers , what happened to quality. I just don't know, I like helping people.
Work long hours, no job security, supervisor pets,
Office Manager (Current Employee) – washington Blvd., Arlington, Va – June 16, 2016
Be Careful! Older coworkers have years of experience. Training is two months and you must know the material that older coworkers took years to understand.
Management is stressed! They need a supervisor and haven't found one for over six months.
It looks terrific in the beginning for work/life, however, long hours to finish your paper work, contact clients, contact physicians, etc.
Look elsewhere! If you are bilingual your job is safe.
Equipment does not get fixed by computer techs quickly.
Lifeguard (Current Employee) – Arlington, VA – December 27, 2015
Pay is great and people are for the most part good but hours are very inconsistent. Work is inconsistent too; some managers demand very little others make the lifeguards do. The older guards get cheated out of hours because they are more expensive. Very stingy culture; have been asked a few times to leave a few minutes early because they didn't want to pay me for my full hours worked.
