Pros

Great pay, and benefits are awesome, 11 paid holidays a year. Was a mechanic flat rate for a private dealership, was working myself to death. Saw King county was hiring at an hourly rate, which is not standard for most car mechanics. Now have a higher hourly wage and guaranteed to get paid for the time I'm at work. They also have PERS 2 which is great, and offer additional deferred compensation plans through T.Rowe Price. So much happier and less stressed than with my old employer. If you don't like your job and want to move around in King county it is easy to do so.

Cons

24 hour operation, you will work graveyard when starting out until you get seniority. Work is pretty repetitive and not very challenging mentally.

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.
