Pros

Good medical, dental and vision benefits. Provides an ORCA card that can be used on buses, trains and light rail.

Cons

Departments operate in silos and people don't always communicate with each other. There is also no room for advancement in some departments. There isn't a path for existing employees to get promoted. Current employees have to apply and interview for jobs along with the general public.
