Pros

Easy commute. Air conditioned building.

Cons

There is a kind of apartheid at King County - between the full time workers with benefits and the part time masses cycled through jobs shamelessly. This process is enhanced by the dangling of potential full time jobs. My supervisor was a result of nepotism - he was unemployable otherwise and he received his job because his boss was his mother-in-law. This was a wildly known fact... hundreds of people were aware. I was criticized at one point for not responding to a text to MY PRIVATE phone.

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.
