Working at US Census Bureau in Chicago, IL: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Chicago, IL Area

"Temporary position. Good training program except scenarios seem unrealistic. Bonuses based on number of closed cases per hour and easy for me to achieve. I had fun doing it and making my own goals each day. Very disorganized from the first day (training and issuing of smart phone for data entry through the beginning of the field work). This required a lot of initiative on my own to make sure I had work up until the last day. They didn't train the supervisors very well. Difficult to get a person on the phone in the Chicago office or have them return a call. Voice Mail boxes were always full."

"working for the Census is good if you need to control your own schedule."
