Pros

Manageable work and personal life tradeoff. You can't be compelled to work long hours and weekends. Hourly pay plus overtime pay. Plenty of time off. Excellent benefits. King County is an easy place to work.

Cons

Boring work. No chance for big money. You don't get any more for being successful Slow advancement King County is not very satisfying because you don't do anything constructive. It is only regulatory - almost a policing function

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.
