Pros

Some flexibility . Not great pay but a little better than minimum wage. I was able to take off a weekday for other family things. You can adjust the schedule to work more on some days and less on others.

Cons

The hiring process takes longer than the job lasts! Poor management from office in different city. Complete lack of appreciation for efforts. No communication and minimal support. Census workers will be out pounding the pavement but the regional office shuts down early Friday and they won't be around to help on the weekend. When they say "Leave your name and number and we'll get back to you", don't believe them. You are on your own.

Pros

I worked as a enumerator manager and it was fun work! My employees were fun and my managers were knowledgeable.

Cons

It would've been nice to still offer PPE.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
