City of Auburn, WA Careers and Employment

It's a law enforcement job. The PD overall is a good place to work but there needs to be changes in upper level supervision. The City is overall good to its employees. Auburn PD officers work hard as they are under staffed for the call load compared to the other agencies around the South Sound. Expect to work hard every day with little slow time.

Unfair

Maintenance Worker Storms 1 in Auburn, WA

Bad management and a lazy work place

Typical work day is very slow to start. No one begins their actual work before first break which is two hours into the day. The breaks are supposed to be 15 mins and 30 mins for lunch but daily there would be extended breaks the 15s would be 45 mins and the 30 min lunch could easily stretch to an hour or more. Management does nothing about it because it could upset the workers. There is no structure to the individual development plans, management just reviews you after a period of time and expects you to have learned everything on a list they never shown you before. Things start out alright but after a while the work environment and the management begin to wear you down this is not somewhere I would recommend a friend or colleague to work. The only redeeming quality is the work week is a 9/80 so every other week you have a three day weekend.

I volunteered to clear out invading brush

A simple task of clearing out invading plant life from a park with the help of my fellow community. This was no actual job, just volunteering experience.
