Being a government worker for almost 5 years is my pleasure and honored, I learned a lot and experienced actual interaction with the people who needs help.I loved my job and I'm proud being a government worker even though its a stressful job but it's has a great feeling that you help others.
Hardest part of the job is you'll handle 800-1,000 households and the management will expect an updated case folder for each household.
The most enjoyable part is you are earning while serving others.
I am totally culture shock and it was very competitive environment. I was not totally enjoying my job but I felt I am competing myself and others. It should be enjoyable environment to nurture and improve.
It is really great that you work to help the poor yet being compensated. The people were very happy after they received the grant for their project as well as it has an impact to the community.
Good pay (in PH terms) and an excellent chance to help your poor countrymen. Benefits were good too and opportunity to travel far-flung and remote corners of your assigned areas.
productive and challenging to work with different people and with different cultures, hardest part of our job was when people doesn't reply all the papers needed for their applications on regards their benefits

Productive workplace, we learn a lot from each and every one you will be able to help other people thru various program of the government. But needed more to exert effort in welfare of the employee.
