"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."
"Great culture but little slow due rules that are set in order to comply with policies."
"Very large organization to work for."
"I've worked for the City of Dallas since March 2018. During that time, I have found the city to be focused on meeting the needs of its various stakeholders, external and internal. The city constantly seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs and empowers its employees to achieve professional goals."
"Very lean municipal government."
"This employer is good for people who want to do as little as possible. The system is very political and is upset every four years if and when a new mayor is elected. Many times budget goes to issues as defined by the voters and not necessarily where it is needed."
