Pros

Working as a part of a team has been a wonderful learning experience with Provo City. They are flexible when scheduling vacations and other events. It has been rewarding to have a tight knit group that can work well together.

Cons

Sometimes there is not an organized team effort and little direction with projects. I have seen others as well as myself flounder from being unsure of the desired task.

Great workplace culture but low pay and high turnover

Pros

A great place to work with people who really care about their job. A lot of freedom and a very "family-first" mentality. Working with Provo City is great, and the Triple Play amenities are great if you love working out or ice skating. Plus, you can see any of the shows at The Covey for free.

Cons

The pay is pretty low, even for Provo standards, which are lower than the national average. There's a bit of turnover because of this. Also, there's not much room for upwardly mobile employees.
