      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are the best that I've work with. Job Security

      Cons

      Work location is unavoidable, you need to keep your residency in the State, even for Remote work. Salary not too competitive.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and for noting our benefits (https://www.soundtransit.org/get-to-know-us/jobs/benefits)! While we do offer hybrid work arrangements, it's true that you do need to live locally. Our HR team is always open to feedback and would love to hear more from you. Please feel free to reach out any time.

      Smart people and important work

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall this is a great place to work. I really feel part of the team and the larger mission and there are so many opportunities to get involved and connect with colleagues, from Employee Resources Groups to Toastmasters. The smart and engaged people, plus the satisfying work, keeps me here. Internal mobility is great and has allowed me to find a role that really fits me well. Now that I've found that, I plan to stick around for awhile. In summary: Meaningful work, passionate people, good pay and benefits, free ORCA card, hybrid work arrangements

      Cons

      One growing opportunity is that some of the management is still naive to diversity & inclusion issues, but I think they are making an effort to learn. It has become an internal priority in recent years and we have a team dedicated to it. Also, the process involved with getting anything done can be frustrating especially if you're new to the public sector. Once you find your footing it becomes easier.

      Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review and for your contributions to the agency! It's great to hear positive feedback on our mission, culture and benefits - all of which are high priorities, along with our commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization. We appreciate our employees' support as we identify where we've fallen short and where we can improve. Thanks again!

      Transit focused

      Area manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, day to day work is not stressful for the most part, load is spread out fairly evenly.

      Cons

      Expectation to work graveyards and weekends regularly does not allow for work/life balance. Due to COVID, no raises for 2 years. Consensus from management is to be happy to have a job.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Like many companies, we were affected by COVID - though work/life balance does continue to be a priority. Please feel free reach out to our HR team at any time to discuss! We would love to hear more of your feedback.
