Pros

The physical plant inherited from the legacy companies is extensive, providing a wide variety of transportation modes for the city of Philadelphia.

Cons

Management is very weak. They over manage. Management is not professional. There are some intelligent Managers, but there are a lot of people filling Management roles that they aren't qualified to. To compensate for this, they bully and mistreat many employees.
