DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY COUNCIL Work-life balance reviews

Start 0730 finish about 1400. Can be enjoyable if weather is ok. Used to be a laugh. What is wrong now is that too many KMA's are bosses. They forget they were one of us(WORKERS). Too much cover up if your face fits. Great job went wrong.

Domestic Assistant (Current Employee) - Domestic assistant - 7 August 2018

I loved this job, it was jso st time for a change for me. Was lack of organisation I didn’t like Rotas were always different so sometimes you didn’t know wot u were working the next week until a Friday after shift. Which made it hard to make appointments dentist etc which. U would then need time off for.

Pros

Meeting new people

Cons

Unusual work shifts bad organisation of Rotas

Mobile Library Driver (Current Employee) - Dumfries, SCT - 3 November 2015

This used to be a great place to work but after 25 years i would like to try something new, feels like i am turning into my dad ! the council are trying very hard to make changes, but have their system that seems like hard work to me. Though they ask for fresh ideas knowbody !! wants to stand up to the plate, and accept responsibility .
