I have been working at City of Bloomington full-time for more than 10 years

ProsDecent work environment, can learn about all facets of municipal govt, decent pay and benefits

Consgoals can change after each election, little opportunity to provide feedback to Sr leadership, govt does not go near the cutting edge due to beauracracy. Little opportunity for advancement.

Although it was a fun experience, it eventually lead to nothing.

Golf Shop Employee (Current Employee)
Bloomington, IL

I have been working at City of Bloomington

ProsAs far as working at the golf course goes, I'd say the best reason to work for the City of Bloomington is for the free golf. The co-workers are also usually very nice as well.

ConsNo room for moving up in the organization. You're a minimum wage employee and your job is treated as such.
