      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Just for clarification, train operators work for King County Metro, not Sound Transit. But we appreciate the work you do to get people where they need to go, and we understand that safety is a regional problem and we need to be part of improving it.

      Pros

      Upbeat and growing agency. Passionate people and friendly work environment.

      Cons

      Relatively incompetent workforce that you’d expect at a “young” organization. Failure at many levels that is evidenced by constant cost overruns reported in the news.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. With such a large capital expansion program underway, we are experiencing growing pains, as well as a variety of other factors like the steep rise in real estate and construction costs in our region. (https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/realignment). With all of these challenges, we know our workforce is dedicated, talented and passionate about connecting more people to more places and making a difference. We also know we can always improve, and we would love to know what we could have done better during your work experience. Our HR team would welcome hearing more of your feedback if you wish to reach out.
