City of Dallas
Courts
Deputy Clerk (Former Employee) – 2014 Main st dallas tx – September 25, 2018
Working at the City of Dallas in the records Department was an introduction to the court system.It was the catalyst to further a career in law and comprehension on how it is ran.Anyone interested in going into law prior to being a paralegal I would recommend working for a court system to familiarize your self with the environment.
Pros
Introduction into Law
Cons
No pay raises
I will never work here again
GIS Analyst III, Trinity Watershed Management (Former Employee) – Downtown Dallas – October 11, 2018
Constant micromanagement with constant review of progress(daily)
Management easily angered by small errors. seems friendly at first but soon turns into overseer type of management. Work constantly over viewed and changed after being told to do it your way. Training that would improve work ignored in favor of do it my way or the highway

Fun but also face-paced, like a rollercoaster
Office Assistant Il (Current Employee) – dallas, texas – September 17, 2018
I enjoyed working at the City of Dallas. You meet a lot of interesting people. It might be a face-paced environment but if you enjoy that, like I do then its a great company to work for. There is, of course, some managers and co-workers that do not always appreciate a good, hard working person when they have them on their team. But if I had a chance to get hired for the City of Dallas full time, then I would take it.
Pros
some places were fun. Just depends what dept you are located at
Cons
sometimes feel unappreciated
workflow
Truck Driver II (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – August 20, 2018
i learned how to be patience, take my time and work as many hour I can for the little pay. the easy part was loving t ocome to work and do my job. I think the hardest part was driving down them thin alley at first
Park and recreation (PART TIME)
RECREATION CENTER ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Texas – August 19, 2018
If you start as a Part time it is REALLY HARD I mean REALLY HARD to move up. Rec center close late! Part timers need to close the building EVERY NIGHT. Work EVERY Saturday. You are never out by the time your schedule says because of reservations or events going on.
If your part time no paid vacations,no benefits, no nothing! You can ONLY get 20 hours and NO OVER TIME. When you get paid they take retirement money out and taxes. You pay check comes out really small. Full time staff spend all day at work working 9 hrs a day. There is no life balance..

All holidays off but no pay. Sundays off.

Enjoyed working with most staff members and customers
Anonymous (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – August 11, 2018
During my time with this organization, I enjoyed serving customers, but I did not care for the disrespect and disregard on the part of Upper Management as a whole towards staff members.
For the most part, staff members were great and so were the mid-managers, but the executive staff did not value staff members.
I cannot prove it, but I believe that some staff members were blackballed based on their opposing ideologies and that their favorite employees were allowed to thrive.

Job Dities
Supervisor (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – August 5, 2018
I work 5 days a week for Dallas Fire Department. I'm over the Special Events Section. I schedule part-time work for medics on their day off. Events include: Parades, races, concerts, festival etc; My job requires me to work on weekends also. I have learned how to work with computers, schedules, relationships with clients, action plans and payroll. The fire department is a real good place to work for as for as workplace structure. The hardest part of my job is having to open up 400 emails a day. The most enjoyable part of my job is putting in over 50 hours of work for a big event and event the event ran smoothly.
Pros
Making medics happy by getting them part time work.
Cons
Long hours and alot of time being away from my family.
Long Term
(Laborer II B) Streets Department-Asphalt (Former Employee) – Dallas TX – July 26, 2018
Great for long term. The pay was very low and the benefits were very expensive. If you did not work overtime, it was difficult to make ends meet. My supervisor was not good to work with.
Fast paced
Electrician (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 24, 2018
Excellent place to work at ... but with major needs to improve management from the Director, to the Managers on duty. But a great place to work. Specially for the Great Influence that Our City has over most of the smaller towns/cities in the area.
Pros
Job security
Cons
Health insurance. lack of a good retirement plan.
Very fun and a workout, you must have patience. Love the kids.
Camp Leader (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 18, 2018
You must have patience and understand your kids. Every kid isn’t the same so you have to understand that. You have to love your job. Have fun and be open to new things.
Stability
Utility Billing Specialist (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 18, 2018
Theres room for growth at the cod, you learn how to bill accounts and what makes the city of dallas function as far as code compliance. The most enjoyable part about my job is there is opportunity to grow with the city of dallas
Pros

Cons
N/a
Competitive
Code Enforcement Officer (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 12, 2018
You get to manage your work day and work at your own pace. Management has been good to me but I haven't been there long enough to really say much more. You will have the opportunity to wear many hats and learn about many jobs within the city. The hardest part for me is that I live in FW. The commute and pay just don't add up for me. I enjoy helping the citizens and all the new faces I regularly get to meet.
Pros
Uniforms
Cons
Healthcare
Not a good employer
Manager II (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 9, 2018
City of Dallas is a typical municipality. They encourage mediocrity and quality employees often give up or move to the private sector. Consider other jobs first.
Pros
Near impossible to get fired
Cons
Frustrating for those that like to excel
Review not provided - Subjective Opinion
Facilities Manager II (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 2, 2018
Employer reviews are not beneficial to others as they are subjective. Each individual needs to formulate their own opinion, based on their own experiences rather than the experience and opinions of others.
City Marshal
Dallas City Marshal (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 1, 2018
They only assist the ones they like. They make working for the DMO difficult because they allow favoritism. Worst place I have ever worked. I would not recommend anyone with any real police experience to apply with them.
Pros
None
Cons
Unqualified supervisors, favorism, unrealistic policy’s that changes per employee.
It was okay
Heavy Machine Operator (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – June 27, 2018
It is very hard to work for places that change management and they are so young and do not care. Also not knowing what is going on in your own department makes it very difficult to gain your employee's respect.
