Pros

Work life balance, salary and great benefits, hard working co-workers who care about their work and service to the public.

Cons

Some resistance to change within the organization. Parking in Seattle is terrible and costly although a bus pas is provided if public transportation is an option. Due to the 1% cap on property taxes, revenue is limited and so budget cuts are continuous. The executive/management has done a good job trying to be smart about the cuts.

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.
