"Municipal government is like working for a major corporation. There is one CEO, six asst. CEOs, many directors, assistant directors and of course the elected officials. If you haven't worked in an environment with so many bosses, one would find it overwhelming. Learn who the gatekeepers are. These are the staff persons who can make or break you in your career path. Like any workplace there are good and bad days working in a municipal, but from humble opinion the good out way the bad days."
