Pluspunten

Quitting never felt so sweet

Minpunten

Extreme favoritism and micromanagement. Favored employees got out of doing things everyone else had to do, simply because they were sucking up to management. You’ll be doing a number of things outside your job duties like doing reception desk duty because they’re too cheap to hire a replacement receptionist. You’ll even be working as a maid and cleaning out break room refrigerators which has nothing to do with the mission of the Census. You’re expected to document every single call with detailed information, which is impossible with a high volume of calls coming through. You’re also expected to document every thing you did at the end of the day with a count of how many times you did it in a daily report. They put the clerks at risk for COVID and defied a statewide shutdown by asking them to come in office while middle managers got to work from home. Dumb rules existed around how many monitors employees could have based on rank. Clerks got 1 monitor, middle managers got 2. Everyone who got promoted was white.

Pluspunten

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Minpunten

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
