Pros

Great benefits, mostly good to great co-workers

Cons

Upper management needs replacement, heavy workload from going LEAN has affected morale in a negative way, staffing is at bare minimum so service level is at just barely getting by for essential services, the County is way too hung up on "the process"

Pros

Came to Rail from another division in the county, so much better than certain customer facing divisions. Work like balance and hybrid model are great. Lots of room for advancement in the admin world if you want it.

Cons

Can feel like you’re being micro managed or watched from the top at times but middle management is usually good at mitigating this.
