Pros

Benefits are outstanding and are paid for at 100% for yourself and your family. Free ORCA pass. Telework is optional.

Cons

Backstabbing. To save money, required to use your own cell phone and do not get reimbursed for its use plus have to deal with the whole privacy issues of personal data and public trust data.

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.
