Pros

You get a prime seat to watch the evolution of the transportation industry. Good exposure to operations, marketing, and political strategy in a rapidly growing business. You will learn a lot and it's nice to have your company constantly in the news and being brought up in conversation.

Cons

Work life balance is horrendous. You will eat every meal at your desk. Despite claims of "no face time" there is absolutely the expectation that you need to be seen at your desk well into the evening. You will be online and constantly available on weekends. Once you learn the basics of the job there is little change in the day to day. They sell it as a chance to implement innovative solutions, but everything interesting is done at HQ by the strategy and product teams. If you work in a city you just get to implement the vision of management without any real freedom to do anything creative. Questionable ethics and the company continues to treat it's drivers extremely poorly preferring. If you have a strong moral conscience you may find yourself staring at the ceiling every night instead of falling asleep after a long day at the office.

Pros

Excellent pay. Overtime. Excellent benefits. Casual atmosphere. Brilliant coworkers.

Cons

Too much overtime expected. 70+ hour work weeks. Weekend and overnight work expected. No personal time. Executives in the Toronto atg office are not willing to hear criticism of their working habits and cause road blocks for others work. Terrible communication. No respect for workers because the executives feel they are above everyone else. Untimely responses to emails and chats causing work delays. Direct person I supported was also my manager so had no assistance with complaints. No training because the Toronto office is a satellite. Was sent to Pittsburgh for training but couldnt pay attention because of constant workflow. You will always feel like you are talking to a wall when dealing with the executives. They do nothing to build personal relationships with coworkers.
