I enjoyed working at the CTA. However, when they outsourced their WC to a third party administrator, my position was eliminated.

An great education in costumer service
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER (Former Employee), Chicago, Illinois –
Working with the Chicago Transit Authority has provided me with a greater insight into how important costumer service is to a company. This company gave my the opportunity to go from seasonal employee to line instructor. I appreciated the value "Costumers come first" and was able to instill that same work value in a lot of they employees I helped trained.

my review is not a good one
Bus Servicer (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
My review is not a good one. The reason I say this is because, I loved working with this company, but I did not get to work as long as I wished to do so. I have work with the company for 2 years, but I was laid off in November of 2009. I love working at North Park. The managers were wonderful to work with.

security needs to be available more
Rail Operator, Customer Assistant (Current Employee), chicago, Illinois –
Pros: working with the public, meeting new people daily

The company provides many options for employes, but could use some help enforcing some rules. Offers ok benifits. Working with the public daily was a lot of fun. Meeting new people and learning a few things from cultures, religion and a brief faily gatherings when time allowed.

If you can find your che between odd hours, bad management, and the unconcern live stock you transport then it a great job!
Bus Operator (Former Employee), 74th Bus Barn –
Pros: good pay if you can get hours
Cons: unlikely to maintain descent hours
Honestly it is a job you can pay for your children's education, but during the time your working there you will not see them or be able to participate in their lives. The only job that can hold you for 16 hours out of your day and pay you for 6-8 of them, No steady schedule either. You get the following time you must work at 6pm the day before without – more...  knowing what time you will get off. Don't take my word for it. Just ask a friendly Operator when there are not driving of course "How they really feel about the job? – less
