Metropolitan Transportation Authority reviews

Staff have no incentive to think outside of the box. You have to punch in and punch out whenever you come into the office, take a lunch break, and leave the office. People will literally stand by the punch clock WAITING for the clock to say 5pm. Seriously? This is how you want to spend your life? The cubicle environment was very much like the moving Office Space. Life depleting, like I said.

Management. Never in my life have I been so frustrated in my efforts to do a good job every day I go to work. When I spend more time walking on eggshells around management's delicate feelings, rather than concentrating on equipment issues, it's a recipe for disaster. If you have a disdain for office politics, don't bother applying. Facilities at MNRR are akin to fiefdoms, with lords who rule over them with a petty, iron fist. Apparently, MNRR supervisor training advocates talking to employees like they're children, because the disrespect and condescension is so common. So that leaves the actual job. It is ok, as I enjoy electrical work and enjoy trains. I cannot seem to advance, which is not ok. I am a lot more experienced and educated than my contemporaries, yet I am stymied. I have been passed over for outside hires. This is a common occurrence. For a job that relies on experience working with trains, that is very strange.
