None, the team were cold and they are like robots No human touch 😕
Customer care officer - Crisis support full time (Former Employee) - Marischal College - 7 February 2022
They don't care about your employees feelings, culture, I don't recommend. Like any other government job, a lot of people there didn't know what they are doing just.... had luck or something else to get the job. Fully disappointed.

A typical day at work is dealing with relevant paperwork, organising and dealing with multiple trades people and materials, learning all aspects of Health and Safety, good working relations and communication with management making sure targets were being maintained , most enjoyable part of the job was seeing and returning properties in good condition back into the system.
Pros

Untrustworthy managers
Support Assistant (Former Employee) - Aberdeen, Aberdeen City - 20 August 2020
Staff are fine and work together which creates a good environment. Managers are out for themselves and are only interested in making cuts. Never any money for photocopy paper or pens. The interal internet is like a brainwashing site. It tells you all the positive things for staff but when you are for development opportunities you dont get them. Very 2 faced organisation
Pros
Flexible working
Cons
Constant money saving

Too many to say

City Warden
City Warden (Former Employee) - Aberdeen - 6 February 2020
Overall disappointing job as it was mainly just parking whereas the job was sold as doing community projects. Management pressured staff to get tickets which led to some nefarious actions by some wardens

Great team environment
Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Marischal College - 14 January 2020
I loved my time there and there was plenty of scope to learn and grow as my role evolved. A very busy environment and never boring. It is challenging at the moment for the council and there has been a need to adapt quickly to a very different culture in a short space of time. The management are the key to all departments managing the transition and they take the responsibility of maintaining moral very seriously.
