USA! It is really what you make it. The resources are there to help you accomplish whatever it is that you desire to accomplish. You just have to stay focused and stay fit. Really not a bad bid.

Fun and important
Census Field Supervisor (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - March 27, 2022
Manager in the Decennial Census field operations. Everyone was always professional and considerate of others. I know the Census is nothing new but the conditions under which we managed to pull this off were nothing short of a miracle. Everyone thought quick on their feet, making for an exciting time.

Field Supervisor (Former Employee) - Savannah, GA - March 14, 2022
I loved working with so many people from such various backgrounds. The only negative about my job is that it ended! I loved working for the U.S. Census 2020 as a Field Supervisor!

Interesting variations of the end result and how to attain them. I actually had fun doing this job.
Census Taker (Former Employee) - DeKalb, IL - February 21, 2022
This was a very fun position to be involved with. The variety of situations was eminence. Different locations, different people, different situations all created a unique opportunity for work. I would do it again and now know better and faster ways to get the job done. The support staff was amazing. This was the most fun of the last couple of years.

Do not work here!
Private (Former Employee) - Andover, MA - February 16, 2022
The most unprofessional environment I have ever worked. Benefits are same as private sector, union does nothing but collect dues from employees. Most larger PODs locations have cockroach and bed bug issues! The pay is low and on a schedule so no one works hard. The systems are outdated and everything has multiple paper forms to deal with. It is a nightmare, unless you’re a Vet. They can nap and not get in trouble. Very sad

Do As I Say, Not As I Do…
Supervisor (Former Employee) - Boyers, PA - October 26, 2021
Poorly trained civilian management. Massive taxpayer waste. Policies and procedures are fluid. If you have no conscience at all, you should fit right in. Take the taxpayer money and run.
Pros
Above average salary
Cons
Poor working conditions

Stable
Worker (Current Employee) - Herlong, CA - September 9, 2021
The most that can be said about this place is that it is a stable job. Often staff are treated as inmates and there is little respect from upper management.
