"I really enjoyed my last inspector position, but if I could change anything, it would have been to have more inspectors to share the workload. The department I worked for had a small budget and could not afford more inspectors. This created a challenge, as we were backlogged for months trying to keep up with inspections. I felt being understaffed was detrimental to the safety of the community."
