Pros

35-hr work week OT work from home Transit benefits

Cons

Diverse but not a place for all personalities or work backgrounds. The conservative culture and robotic pace quickly frustrates and makes one feel inadequate if you come from complex, dynamic environments with few routines. It will stifle independence. The department is now evolving from the long, drawn-out mundane process. It reduced much of the "crying over spilled milk" response. Many folks boast their tenure to show for their experience and unfortunately are unable to provide other skills and talents. In reality, doing the same thing for years does not acquire anyone new skills. The accumulated knowledge shows it will fade away during process evolution. Not much to look forward to in its career path.
