Pros

Public Service is really refreshing and you feel like you're part of something

Cons

The cliquey nature and rampant nepotism along with the fine dusting of sexism and racism that pervades the Transit organization leaves much to be desired. Glassdoor doesn't have a way to disambiguate departments which can be very different.
