Stay away from IT at MTS

Pros

Location is at least in downtown San Diego so that's good. Staff is full of hard working friendly people who stay upbeat. They also only expect people to work 8 hours per day; even though the favorites are known to take 1.5 to 2 hour lunches and 'workout breaks' so if you can get in good with management that's only a 6 hour work day!

Cons

Management is a nightmare. They don't appreciate their employees at all. They are far too busy trying to undermine each other and play political games than to appreciate employee contributions (unless you're one of their chosen ones). They work hard to bully employees into feel responsible for failures they create and far to apt to take credit for half accomplishments. It's like being back in the 60s with the way they talk to their employees.

It’s good until it’s not

Pros

Fixed schedule, decent pay, opportunities to grow-if you’re patient. Note that any wait time to move up will likely be longer than what anyone will tell you.

Cons

Can become a hostile work environment if you don’t fit in. If you end up on somebody’s “radar,” good luck getting off of it. Everyone gossips, so your business is everyone else’s as well. I felt like I was unfairly targeted and set up for failure, and thus pushed to quit. Either that or stay and put up a good fight and hope you win-not something you should have to deal with at work.

Pros

Fun ppl, everyday is different, shifts go by so fast, either off early or go in late, so much potential growth in the company.

Cons

Crazy crack people ride the trolley all day long, u might see a dead body, not a job for everybody.
