Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our headquarters, located at and near Union Station in the Chinatown International District and Pioneer Square neighborhoods, is at an amazing transit hub, but we also understand and appreciate concerns about getting to work safely in the city. Thank you for mentioning our benefits!

Pros

They pay you moderately and the 401k is amazing.

Cons

The company and the staff; too many people who say they are ready to move into the 20th century who do not act, do not include, do not listen.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for mentioning our retirement benefit - which is 401a, not a 401k. We would welcome any additional feedback you have about working at Sound Transit, including your experience with managers. Please feel free to reach out any time.
