      Pros

      Slower pace, great benefits, fantastic 401a matching. Most people believe in mission and goals of the agency, and enthusiasts of public transportation. Culture varies wildly by department.

      Cons

      Growing pains as the agency has rapidly expanded. All departments face some turnovers, and most of them are good (the old-timers who are resistant to change, low-performers, in general people who're not patient enough to ride the tide or work in ambiguous environments).

      Pros

      +Excellent medical insurance and rates. +Excellent retirement program (401k, 401a). +Competitive pay, salary raises/bonuses, and substantial amount of overtime (OT).

      Cons

      -Terrible leadership and management. -Awful communication between leadership and employees. -Employees are often overworked due to expansion projects for new transit sites, limited personnel, upgrades, repairs, and maintenance.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to be recognized for our commitment to the well-being of our employees, including their health and financial security (we do offer a 401a and 457b in lieu of 401k). We are sorry to hear about issues with communication and workload. With one of the largest capital program expansions in the U.S. underway, we are experiencing some growing pains! Our HR team would love to hear more of your feedback. Please feel free to reach out any time.
