Pros

Health benefits were good, as were the added benefits like Metro pass. Very easy to make charitable gifts through paychecks.

Cons

It was hard to get anything done because they have a set way of doing everything that wasn't a perfect fit for every program. It is easy to get lost here and feel like a cog in the big machine.

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.
