      Good people, bad culture

      Pros

      There are many very professional people working in operations and it was a pleasure to work with them. It's gratifying to see the efforts you make result in positive experiences for your customers both internal and external. It is nice to know you are helping people in their daily travels. Riding the system for free is great if you commute using the train or buses. SEPTA has a very long history and at times it feels good to be a part of that history.

      Cons

      There is a culture clash at play within the organization and it leads to a great deal of aggravation with trying to get things done. The long-time veteran employees have the attitude that the way they've always done things is the only way to do them and are generally uncooperative except with each other. Newer people face a lot of resistance to good ideas that could change things for the better. There's almost no possibility of advancement or promotion. Raises are a joke when you actually get them. Your superiors take all the credit for your efforts when you make a noticeable improvement to systems.

      Great company to build a career

      Pros

      Pay is great. Opportunity is endless to build a career and provide for your family. Transportation is 24-7 but you will be compensated well for your time.

      Cons

      Work hours and shifts vary. If you are looking for a 9-5 then you need an administrative position but if you want to drive a vehicle and make money the shifts can change on a daily basis when you first start out.
