Job description

With this being my first official full time job with benefits, it has really turned around my outlook on personal growth and my life has changed so much. I am a real adult with more personal and professional responsibilities than ever before. It’s an adjustment with pros and cons, but a massive improvement overall!

What satisfies me the most in my position here at the city is being able to help both English and Spanish speaking customers. Working for the city has helped me grow by giving me the confidence to get out of my comfort zone and trying new things after being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years.

A team first mentality, I'd say that fits. They really do try and include every department in on, [sic] on-going activities with the city. Not to mention open to listening to concerns that one may have.

Trai Rule , 06/02/2023

I continue to choose Grandview after 8 years because we can see the impact we have on the community directly. There are other larger cities near us that may pay more but it is more difficult to implement change and to have as much of an impact as we are able to here. At Grandview, you are not just a cog in the wheel you are part of the team. I also continue to choose Grandview because leadership recognizes staffs career or educational goals and helps you to get there.
