Pros

Good benefits, Staff is committed to the mission of the organization. Until about five years ago a great company to work for.

Cons

Performance means nothing. Experience and skills are overlooked for politics. Very top heavy management. Key executives have little experience in the business. Very poor leadership.

Pros

Great employees, not so bad benefits, ride the bus for free

Cons

Lots of politics, Getting the work done is almost impossible. Things improved while George Greanias was on board in terms of transparency and employee treatment. Now the biggest issue is the Board that seems to be involved in every little decision being made.

Great environment and fantastic people

Business Outlook

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.
