Pros

Good people A Pension Decent Salary Good health benefits Stability if you can handle the slow pace on accomplishing

Cons

KCIT is in a state of flux. Lack of resources to support current projects. No projects created for some major initiatives Staff seems to be in fire fighting mode all of the time. We are too busy doing operations no time to plan or discuss what we actually need to accomplish Bad Morale! Work/Pay/Bonus is not based on Performance Always finding the cheapest way of doing things, which may not be the best.

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.
