What is the salary like at US Census Bureau?

Good pay, good hours, some overtime and mileage available, promotions available

2020 was a mess in general and that impacted the Census, we shut down for a few months and afterwards everything was thrown off from top to bottom, also there was a lack of HR/help managing inter-office issues

Interesting work that makes a difference in major surveys and data collection, great benefits, good pay.

Projects can get cancelled with short notice which is frustrating.

Good pay, flexible hours, easy work.

Can’t work full/ over time

Good pay, flexible hours, good supervisor support

Respondents can be aggressive and threatening, involves time walking outdoors in heat

Flexible schedule, good pay, work makes a difference

Weather, a lot of driving, difficult people

Good pay, flexible hours, Easy to navigate app/interview Q's

Dealing with aggressive and rude tenants.

Great people, but managers have no control over when promotions will become available, and pay is set to increase based on time worked.

Highly affected by current happenings in politics, Congress, and executive branch. Usually negative effects.

Pay is good and opportunity for overtime during crunch time.

Without help from supervisors, deadlines are impossible to meet on time.

Great pay and benefits Lots of opportunities for training

Lots of red tape People who should be fired are not

This was a great temporary gig with fair pay and opportunities for significant overtime. It is a good match for active self-starters who want to make a difference in their community.

Not really a con, but you have to be acclimated to working outdoors and in the heat.
