Best & Worst Things About This Career

As reported by people currently doing the job

"The best part of the job is its variety. Yesterday, for example, I found myself outside at the decontamination drill taking pictures with my cell phone because the usual camera wasn't working. It was a beautiful day and I got to linger outside. There are also the days that I have to stop by the construction sites and make sure all safety measures are in place and the necessary precautions are being taken to assure that the areas are as safe as we can make them. I start the day with a positive attitude and enjoy coming in to work everyday. One reason is that I am happy to have a great job but more important is the fact that I feel appreciated when I get here! The part of this job that is not so enjoyable is not always knowing just what's expected of me. I am pretty new to this department and have all the enthusiasm that one can possibly bring to a new job. My eagerness to learn everything about this job leaves me frustrated sometimes."
