      Pros

      Excellent benefit package with low deductibles

      Cons

      Politics and egos. If upper management likes you, they'll go as far as creating a position to promote you to. Don't expect anyone to back you. Everything is a blame game if there's an issue.

      Pros

      Very easy work. If you've worked at Verizon or Comcast....then you've done more work in one day than a day at SEPTA.

      Cons

      Zero upward mobility. Tons of nepotism.

      Pros

      I love driving. And I was proud to be a SEPTA employee. After years of searching I found my niche as a SEPTA bus operator. The pay is great after two years of employment. There is lots of overtime at the Victory depot at 69th street because nobody wants to come to work. Lots of lazy employees.

      Cons

      The management is trained to treat their drivers (i.e., operators) like dirt. It sounds crazy, and it is, but sadly it's true. You will be nit-picked over trivial rule violations. You will be harassed and eventually fired/suspended and forced to work with the so called union to get your job back. Very demeaning and stressful. Buffoons are promoted for no other reason then knowing a "big shot" downtown at the 1234 Market street H.Q. Everyone else remains an operator or forced out of employment.
