Pros

Its a job...and everyone needs one.

Cons

Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County is a place where you will not find happiness in employment. The apathetic altitude is the norm.

Pros

Good place to work if you are female or a minority. Good job security. Good benefits. Good work environment. All equipment is well maintained and replaced on a scheduled basis.

Cons

Pay somewhat less than in corporate sector. Upper management positions are often filled from outside sources rather than from internal promotions.

Pros

you have a job and it has days off like most other companies but it could use more vacation days for more tenured people. the insurance benefits are pretty standard but that is not so bad.

Cons

everyone thinks you drive a bus for a living. there should be other opportunities in training and development for all of the departments. right now there is not a lot of development of your skills other than driving. which might be why everyone thinks you just drive a bus! some of the supervisors should not be managers at all and were not properly trained
