- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The best reason to work for the City of Austin is the benefits. Great health, dental and vision insurance, 11 paid holidays, 2 personal holidays and the vacation days are accumulative. The constant training is great as well. You have to take 16hours of training and you get paid for the work.
Cons
The division I am in is not managed well. They can't keep a division manager for long and the supervisors that are in charge are incompetent. I have worked here for almost 3 years and have been trying to get out for 2 of those years. The division I am in seems like a revolving door of employees. They can't keep anyone for longer than 3 years except management positions. They treat the permit group like children while the rest of the division get treated like adults. None of the other groups within the division have such problems with work load as the permitters.
