Pros

Compensation: the pay was much better than other jobs that were available at the time Supervisors: I had a very professional Supervisor who managed us wisely. He was recently retired from the United States Army so we have them to thank for his professionalism. Work Place: I was a door to door Enumerator which I enjoyed. It was nice not be stuck in an office or store like I have been most of my career.

Cons

The only Con I could think of is this is a temporary job, but I knew that before I took the job. I would probably work for the Census again.

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.
