Great job if you're looking to have a career in education.
|
|
Great with time and availability, easily manageable as a full time college student.
|
It can be difficult at times, but nothing too bad/difficult.

Great place to work
|
|
Strong leadership team sets a positive tone from the top. Staff enjoy their work and are proud to be a part of the RWC team. Employees are friendly, kind, hardworking, and continually working to make the City better. Creativity and innovation are encouraged. Excellent pay and benefits, including outstanding health benefits and a good old fashioned pension (CalPERS). Employee learning and development is supported. Great place to learn and grow your career. Good opportunities to collaborate, contribute ideas, and make an impact on the organization. The City Council is supportive of staff and doesn't micromanage our work. Leadership supports work-life balance. Flexible or alternative schedules are supported where possible (depends on the role/department).
|
As is common in public sector workplaces: we are continually trying to do more with less and working on teams that we wish had more funding to hire more staff. The organization values creativity and innovation, but these things require time and bandwidth... lean teams and big workloads can sometimes get in the way.

A Municipal Organization Afraid of its Own Shadow
|
|
Excellent pay and benefits for management level employees. Excellent employees although many of them seemed defeated and their discontent contributes to an overall feeling resignation among employees. Management employees speak highly of the organization while line employees are obviously unhappy and uninspired.
|
This place will make you run away. Major culture of fear and a lack of openness throughout the organization. The organization is stagnant and led by a reclusive city manager. A lot of brushing things under the rug. This is not an organization for problem solvers because imagination is not a value here. Instead its led by an inexperienced management team that is more concerned with covering things up. Employees with ambition need not apply. A lot of "CYA" mentality is observed in the organization combined with a noticeable culture of fear.

Handle your issues by being direct and clear. Shielding leaders who engage in discriminatory practices is something the organization should address. Recommend ethics training for the City Council and Executive Team.

Flexible schedule. Great vacation package. Challenging work. Great people. Good mission. Great council. Great department head team. Good managers. Great atmosphere.
|
High contribution to PERS. Some former leaders were really weak and had to manage around them, but that has changed. I believe the leadership team is strong now.
