Pros

Pay, medical, dental, prescription & pension. Also lots of overtime available. Vacation time is good also, paid holidays, 60days of sick time per year that rollover

Cons

Top heavy organization. Some supervisors have no clue as to how the transit industry works & only for there job because of who they knew. Management think there's not gray area to company rules & 9 times out of 10 will not flex the rules based on the situation. Lots of hours, fluctuation in schedule til you gain seniority, rude & hostile passengers, run schedules are some times to tight

Pros

Free rides on public transit

Cons

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
