Very non-toxic work environment. The owner is fair and honest. Great benefits and retirement. The people are drama free and everyone works together to make sure the customer AND the employees are well taken care of.

Dispatch is hit or miss. Advisors mostly can't sell. Plenty of work to go around, when management is proactive in bringing work in
Bethlehem Highway Department
Municipal garage · Selkirk, NY
1 reviews
Read Reviews“Great secure job but your on call all winter”
Great secure job. Its a municipal position which means youre not flatrate and you are in the state retirement system. You are not going to get rich working here but the benefits and time off do make it worthwhile. The only real downer is that once snow starts falling, you are on call for every storm to plow/salt the roads. Everyone in the highway department from the maintenance guys all the way up to service technicians are there for the whole storm, no shifts. So keep that in mind.
