Productive and well taken care of

I have learned to be an emphatic person towards the low income families. Also given chance to attend to residents from all walks of life and provide them the services with care, attentive and understanding.

Stable job but not much work life balance.

Fast pace and challenging. Much contact with the public and many rules and regulations.But the colleagues are great and much camaderie. Management expects you to take on the challenge and you need to have a lot initiatives to tackle the jobs given to you. Definitely I met a lot of people in my course of my work in the number of thousands.

work culture

Hardest Part was to adjust to the old-style micromanagement kind of work culture. Contract workers take up responsibilities of application development here.

Pros

Fixed office timings for contract employees.

Good work life balance

A great place to work at with very good work life balance. As long as you produce results, your management will not micro manage your work. Good working culture with fun colleagues.

Pros

Great working hours

Cons

Stagnant

No pressure

Should have at least a basic salary with the incentive scheme for field interviewers as we spend a fair amount on transportation, phone data somethings during odd hours in the mornings and evenings to keep appointments.

Pros

Lots of free time

Cons

Low salary

Overall pleasant environment

A typical day would consist of checking and replying to emails, supporting users on technical areas, administrative duties, meetings with colleagues or users, Learnt how to work and communicate with others in a corporate environment, taking into account the needs of the users co-workers are friendly and helpful usually, its like a family oriented environment There are usually a lot of "obstacles" to getting things done like unnecessary paperwork and procedures. most enjoyable part of the job is to develop things that are useful for the public

helpful colleagues

many layers of middle management
