Pros

Wonderful environment and benefits, the freedom to do your job and the support of a team dedicated to success; extra-curricular programs, opportunities for professional development and providing a public service that is so desperately needed by the population

Cons

Promotion not always based on merit; some tenured positions held by staff who are either burnt out or completely mis-utilized; governance for the agency is not answerable to the agency - they're all on the puppet strings of the entities that appointed them - so they often don't have METRO's best interests at heart.

Pros

Working in a large government facility. Pay was pretty good.

Cons

Catty behavior from main superiors. They act like high school mean girls. Between their attitudes and ignorance, it was impossible to learn anything from them. HR treated college interns like elementary school children. It felt more like a field trip chaperoned by micromanaging kindergarten teachers than an internship for adults. They also can't seem to communicate without a big Barney smile plastered on their faces, no matter what the topic is. "Metro is so great," reminders every step of the way.
