Pros

Good benefits, some flexibility in work schedule, most coworkers understand the struggle and are there to help

Cons

Prepare to get yelled at by citizens, developers, and contractors. Little to no support from management. If you make a decision for the good of the public, it will get overturned by management for political reasons to appease whoever complains the loudest.

Pros

Steady job, good benefits and paid time off

Cons

Training for certification was lacking, I developed a program there and assisted a lot of the water department in their certifications. Passed over for several promotions for related family members.

Its Government - So its Political

Pros

Great benefits, Awesome pay, and community oriented HR recruiting team

Cons

Politics largely drive what does/doesn't get done. Its government so its not surprising... But all too often the community and the citizens of Arvada get left in the wake of office feuds, and "rising stars" in the department. The team of "professionals" there are more concerned with their own advancement and less concerned about doing the right job the correct way. Moreover, Gossip and social clicks also a driving force behind who advances and who gets left behind. If you at all are sensitive to backstabbing, hypocrisy, or not "one of the cool kids"... I'd recommend looking elsewhere for employment.
