Pros

Budget and training unlimited with city sales tax and federal grants. Nice people and free bus and train.

Cons

Politics and lack of advancement for minorities and who you know versus what you know. Technical expertise is not rewarded but feared by insecure management.

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.
