United States Census Bureau Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Participated in four Census surveys in various cities and states since 2010. Have experienced considerable variability in management and conditions in each. The 2020 census survey was well supported despite having to travel on occasion over a hundred miles a day to find respondents in rural areas. The recent 2021 follow-up survey was poorly planned and I was required to travel over 1000 miles a week to locate respondents as well as submit work hours to the supervisor 4 hours from the census area. No onboarding briefing indicated that this was to be the case and was not expecting the extra workload this entailed. The supervisors then denied responsibility for the difficulties that ensued."

"Interesting and very fast-paced. Quite structured and sometimes hard to be allowed workarounds for issues, but dedicated personnel."

"I had the opportunity to work for the US Census in the midst of the Pandemic. It was a great experience to know that even through a traumatic time, our nation's government was still wanting to try to get a thorough and as accurate as possible count of our nations population and survey the populace. Accuracy and Efficiency was their top priority."

"This is a great place to work."

"I've worked for the EOC for 2 years and have enjoyed every minute of it."

"My previous company provided an opportunity to further develop my management skills."

"I have worked with the census twice now once in 2010 and again in 2020, both times were good experiences"

"A brief peek into the lives of an enumerator, but a wealth of knowledge and experience gained as a result. The simple task of going from door to door turned into a wonderful engagement with the community that enlightened my perspective about my hometown."

"Worked for 13 months on the 2020 Decennial Census, managing staff of 20. Workflow and administration were poorly managed and communications were mostly ineffectual. Cost management was wasteful and arbitrary. Nevertheless, I would work on the next Decennial Census (2030, if I'm available) bc it's a necessary, meaningful endeavor and I loved the people with whom I worked."

"A great place to work. See you in seven years!"

"I worked for U.S Census Bureau from July14, 2020 to October 13, 2020. My roles were to train, monitor, approve pay and supervise enumerators for US 2020 Census. I had great relationships with all my enumerators and other supervisors for this exercise. I would do this job again."

"I worked at the United States Census Bureau and enjoyed the experience. As a Operations Office Supervisor I was able to interview and train new employees. I had first contact with them and trained them to be great clerks. I enjoyed the people and running the Human Resources department along with my coworkers. It was an experience I will never forget."

"Little or no input from workers left out many improvements in the process that would have helped."

"Great company, great work and really impressive."

"I loved working for the U.S. Census Bureau and am sad the position will soon end. The job led me to complete important work, it had flexible hours and good pay, and allowed me to meet all sorts of people in my local community. The job has also led me to make an impact on our country's future by ensuring an accurate count of our residents."
