Pros
The mission is what drives the work; there are a lot of people excited to get mass transportation to many people in the region. Salary is good when compared to other agencies, but internally, it is a mess and not equitable. Good opportunities for growth if you play your cards well.
Cons
Lots of bureaucracy. Salary discrepancy among peers, some who do less than you make way more than you. Never-ending leadership turnover that creates constant changes and instability among teams. Leadership decisions that do not make sense and create a negative impact on smaller teams. Some ERGs had more flexibility in their activities than others, and this was noticeable to the other ERGs. I saw 5-6 CEO/Acting CEOs during my 10-year period... which by itself says a lot. Before leaving, there was talk that folks would be asked to come to the office 3 times a week, but there is no space for everyone. The pandemic showed that we could all work remotely, unsure of the need for the push for the min 3 days in the office when the minimum required space is not even there.
