Pros

The wide range of projects and access to department directors, city council members, and senior leadership.

Cons

Literally everything else. The pay is sub par, the hours are extremely long, and the professionalism of the organization is the worst I've ever encountered. One of my neighbors thought I traveled for my job because she never saw me around. Nope! I would just arrive at the office at 6:30am and get home around 8pm every day. Truly horrendous. Management would actively go out of their way to squash employee career growth by intervening the hiring process if they found out a current employee was trying to leave. This is likely due to the horrible retention rate this office had in the years leading up to 2019.
