would you mind talking a bit why you don't like your job? ive been thinking of going into that field but im not experienced in that kind of work
ofc! and just to be clear don't rlly let it discourage you because depending on where you live the work environment might be different, ours could just be weird but anyway
it doesn't pay well, especially for the amount of work we do
kind of a revolving door because people will join our team thinking its easy work then quit when they get overwhelmed
we're very short-staffed rn and its hard to get good people who aren't lazy
our parks aren't "staffed" because they have us on a roving model + we have 12 parks we take care of daily, so usually every park you go to on opening shift is trashed because people know we aren't there to stop them
across the parks we have 10 different shelters they rent out for large gatherings/events, during the spring/summer it isnt unusual for each one to have hundreds of people, so the trash builds up quick, which makes it heavy and hard to lift (especially if you have useless coworkers who don't check the trash)
bathrooms have to be cleaned and mopped daily and ofc you're dealing with people shitting on the floors and walls
if it snows (even if its your off day) you have to go in for mandatory 12 hour shifts to shovel snow at different locations, and usually they have us helping shovel schools + hospitals + fire stations, so we still have our own parks to shovel after that
most of our equipment is in bad shape but they refuse to replace it
most of the trucks we drive are way past inspection but they don't get turned in
lots of people problems + weird situations you have to deal with, i've been here since 2022 and patrons have threatened to physically harm me multiple times
in general you have to be out + able to drive in extreme weather conditions because we're considered essential workers, not just heat or cold or snow
i had to get vaccinated for rabies because some guys dog bit me when i was pulling trash in a dog park and he left before animal control got there
the constant physical labor breaks your body down over time, esp your back, i didn't used to have back issues but now i do
