Pros

High salary (COLLEGE NOT REQUIRED).

Cons

Unfair workplace practices. Nepotism. Skilled workers are pushed to perform while other workers who did not take the time to learn their job often get by without working hard although they still receive the same salary as the skilled worker. Mgmt condones this. Many times telling a senior person they must work because they have experience but junior workers sit and do nothing.

Pros

The MTA is a good place to work if you don't mind sacrificing compensation in exchange for a good work/life balance. I always had my evenings and weekends (which I appreciated), and the benefits were very good, especially for a first-time employee.

Cons

The MTA's management seems prone to pointless politicking and suffers from a lack of direction at time. More than once I wondered how its senior executives were able to keep their jobs, because it seemed like their secretaries were doing far, far more meaningful work.
