Pros
Many people are very kind. Good, salt of the earth folks working as individual contributors that you would be fortunate to count as friends.
Cons
Zero leadership. Most managers have no professional training and this is their only job (haven’t worked anywhere else). Culture is obsessed with micromanaging and “preventative” and punitive processes. The managers focus on the exact opposite of what is important. Managers obsess over who was 5 minutes late (in professional, salaried positions, not hourly mind you). Back room deals make or break people’s careers. Policies are inconsistently enforced. They will say whatever you want to hear as you are coming in the door but at the first sign of challenge or push back you are on your own and the daggers come out. Very unhealthy and in my opinion low integrity leadership based on watching at least three talented high performing people choose to leave or be fired without cause who experience harassment, bullying and stress. The most common refrain is, “That is how we have always done it.” Not kidding, you will regret choosing to work at Community Transit. Just don’t.
