Negative
Sr. Customer Service Rep (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – March 18, 2019
I did not like this particular position. There was no growth, training, good examples. The ethics of the company was not displayed in the area of business.
Pros
I got promoted
Cons
Negative environment
Great job . Lots of red tape.
Operator (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – February 28, 2019
Plenty of overtime if desired. Just like the service, follow you're last order. Smile nod you're head and shut up. Great retirement plan. Fellow employee's great to work with.
Pros
Long term career
Cons
Don't think. Do as you're told.
Productive job to work
Armed Officer (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – February 17, 2019

Call Center Services
Customer Service Representative-C (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – February 6, 2019
A typical day at the call is answering the phone calls. It is very challenging, and interesting. I have learned that their are all kinds of people in this world. There are people that are just not happy and then there are the joyful ones. I have come to the conclusion that if I do not have a happy client the phone may be a little challanging, and my goal is to make them happy when finished with the call. The hardest part of the job talking to those mothers that have all the medical issues and wish there was a cure for all of them. The most enjoyable part of my job is making a happy client of each and every phone that I do receive.
Pros
Overtime, and a very supportive Manager
Cons
short staffed
Ok
Reporting Lead (Interim) (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – January 8, 2019
Hard to make career transition within the company. Worked in one field of study then received Master's degree and find it challenging to transition within the company due to no experience
Few words
Manager (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – December 20, 2018
The organization could be a great place but it is contingent upon leadership. At this time, leadership leaves a lot to be desired. But the building structure is sound and there are plenty of really nice offices. The end.
Good Opportunity
Sr. Real Estate Specialist (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – December 18, 2018
The City of Dallas is a good place to work to gain knowledge of how a municipality functions. It is also a good organization to have some opportunities to advance, because of the diverse functions that the City offers. And the retirement Benefits are good because you can actually have a goal and an opportunity to retire.
Pros
Stable place to work
Cons
Bad management structure
very stressful and not a great place for advancement
Police Officer (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – December 6, 2018
horrible benefits, and horrible salary compared to other cities around the city of Dallas. We did the most work out of any city and got paid the least salary of any city in Texas.

Great place to work
COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – November 8, 2018
Would enjoy working for the City of Dallas again. The City of Dallas does not thrive off firing their employees but will give them a chance to make things right, that was not the case for me. I had to resign because I had to deal with a major health issue but I am well now and am still striving to go back.
Enjoyed working, and meeting people
COURT SPECIALIST CLERK, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – October 25, 2018

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

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
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
