US Census Bureau reviews

Its a seasonal job, that hires once every ten years, so if you're looking for a long term, steady job/career, this won't be the job for you... And you get zero benefits. They also tell you that you can not work over 25 hours a week (to prevent overpaying you). I don't know about the other years, but it seemed like during the 2010 census in my area, they were itching to fire you. Once girl in my training class got fired because she asked a question about the job that apparently our supervisor did not like, another guy got fired because he was "too quiet" during the training class, and another woman got fired simply because she annoyed our supervisor. They even purposely trained us to do things one way, then a week into being out in the field, our supervisor tells us that what she taught us was wrong, and that we would be tested by our supervisor on the field to see if we conduct our interviews properly, using the new methods they told us to use.
