Pros

You can set your hours.

Cons

Weather: you have to work outside ALL the time. Crazy people: "you are in my lawn", "you are in front of my property" "get the hell out of here" "what the hell are you doing?". Poor management they only call you to demand something and are never polite, I understand they are under stress but a "good morning" is not going to kill you. They call or text you any day of the week even if you set that day they as "unavailable". HR or payroll are virtually inexistent and the Supervisor doesn't even care. Any manager can call you at any time and they want to fire you if you don't pick the phone, WTH?. Terrible management.

Pros

I worked as a enumerator manager and it was fun work! My employees were fun and my managers were knowledgeable.

It would've been nice to still offer PPE.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
