Great place to work
I love my job with the city people that really care about you.i can't wait to go back to work.they go above a beyond what there job is to help you in all areas of your life there is no place I'd rather be.i love the fact that they give people second chances they don't discriminate against anyone the best company in town to work for in my opinion.
Care to share?
Help people considering your employer. Share your experience.
Volunteer Position
This was a volunteer position. I distributed surveys to refugees/immigrants to measure civic engagement. Besides getting printed surveys, there was no real "job experience". But I felt good doing something productive and important for City of Seattle research.
Run the other way!
There is a culture of bullying and corruption throughout the organization. I've never seen anything like it in a professional atmosphere. From clandestine affairs between supervisors and subordinates to triangulation and manipulation. I've seen it all and I'm glad I'm out!
Fun to work with community
Spending time for outreach with residents and businesses and survey collection. Meeting with the planner for the project and advising on outreach materials and plans. Participating in committees and advisory and working with ethnic media. Enjoy to meet people and tell them what is happening in the future within the community or city.
Diverse and Amazing experiance
I worked as a cashier or the city of Seattle for the public pools in the area. My main pool that I worked at was the Ballard Pool.
From the very first day to the last day of working there I always felt supported and cared for by the staff. I know that at times I made their jobs a bit more difficult, and still they never made me feel belittled.
At the Ballard Pool we have lots of different swim programs to offer, for infants to seniors, so there is a whole of different ages coming in and out of the facility. as well as different ethnicities, the diversity really is so very beautiful. to see a community in person.
The managers are very hands on, as well as great with communication every hour or so they will come out and check on you and ask you about your day, if you need anything etc.

limited growth potential
Workplace culture talks about promoting self motivated workers, those who problem solve and can think "out of the box" . . . reality is that staff who show these qualities are subject to either intense micromanagement or receive complete indifference from immediate and upper management. The consensus is that the only good idea is one that comes from management and those are poorly communicated, if communicated at all.
As a customer service intern, the responsibilities were clear
The tasks were managable and it was a collobrative enviornment. I was given project to work at my own pace. As a receiptionist I learned customer serivce skills. The people in the office were friendly.
