Metropolitan Transportation Authority Employer Reviews

I'm a temp there through a agency.
Their nice and productive.
Always busy and getting things done.

Exciting, dispite the passengers that try to board without paying the regular fare. My job was very enterprising.

A typical day would be checking my backups, emails, working on tickets and projects. Monitoring my alert screen and documentation.

What I've learned is its not how much you know, but how willing you are to learn. Thus, your approach towards challenges is critical to how and if you can over come them.

It is of utmost importance to maintain a perfect – more... relationship or communication with management at all times.

With my co-workers, I would say its All for one, and one for all. I thrive on that.

The hardest part of the job is also one of my best as well. Facing new challenges be it troubleshooting an unknown or unfamiliar issue or tuning the database at a more complex level.

The best part of the job is saving the day or a successful completion of a project. – less

Wonderful culture, great place to work. I worked for the organization for thirty years, we were able to send our chlideren to college, very stable and wonderful co-workers. Hard work but it was productive and a lot of fun.

I'm with the MTA business service center and it's the most stressful place to work. Management don't know their right from their left. Everything is an emergency, they don't care abt life work balance. The pay is good, benefits are ok. The ppl are rude and incompetent.

Constantly busy with requests to approve insurance on several contracts. In addition to working with Management in solidifying insurance boilerplate language to help meet market standards. Team enviroment where co-workers pitched in as well as providing their expertise opinions.

The MTA was a wonderful experience. I experienced a real office like setting, having to dress business like, had my own little cubical to do paperwork. Stocked paperwork and boxes in offices around the MTA building. My manager made me feel real comfortable, and made coming to work very enjoyable.

I don't feel that this company has a very good people friendly atmosphere for it's employees.

I work 12-8 am as a loborer I clean up drive fork lift shuttle wagon to move trains in and out the building

Customer serv, uniformed, well organized, well constructed.

This is a civil service job, when i started i was let into a lions pen, no help (none). Had to learn everything the hard way,"but", gain the experience. My co-workers were great once i got to know them. the hardest part about the job is leaving something that you can't finish (repair). Enjoyable part about the job is getting the work done on a timely – more... bases. As per the bosses (well), you know what a boss suppose to do. – less

Great place to learn and sharpen your skills as an engineer. My co-workers were great. The best part of this job is the ability to learn and apply it to your skills. Management is good, union location.

Some levels of management are appreciative and help you wokr harder. Others jus want to hear themselves talk.

Good opportunity to work with dif departments

I miss lunch with the girls

Able to increase, and enhance Admin. skills because quite a few of the duties and responsibilities were varied because of the nature of a particular investigation, or audit.

It was an experience. If you enjoy customer service it is a good job

During my twelve years, it had been my misfortune to have been given promotion temporarily to sergeant as I was on promotional list and serve 10 1/2 months in this position, with only 6 weeks to go for civil service promotion in title, and dumped back into ranks as MTA Management Team wanted only politically correct promotions and a black female got – more... the job I had. She shot a score of 29 and to carry gun on street requires minimum of 80, they had me shoot along side her, then gave half of my 100 to her, now score 79, then minority/female, curved points to qualify. Management was the lowest lying scum of the earth. I vested and got out.Management's attitude was nasty abusive and malicious. Truly the lowest scum of the earth. Their clerks call your home when you are at work and say you are with women, as their sick joke. Management encourages personnel to lie on their behalf to garner promotion or better standing.Management would order summonses written to get their numbers up, then not give us court appearance notifications to save on overtime. For saving overtime, management get an annual cash bonus. Prior to MTA, it was a nice job when I got hired by the oldtimers. From what I understand, there may possibly be minor improvements from my own experience, though they probably continue to promote their favorites. – less

The health benefits and state pension plan, plus having access to a 401(k) and 457(b) deferred compensation plans. Advancement is limited and the salary potential lags the private sector.

Great place to work though opportunity for advancement is a bit low.

MTA is a good transportation company to work for, they have good benefits and the security is good, I learned a lot and I will take what I learned there to my next company of employment.

Working for Dexter Tea is every day work, work until we get results...
I can not wait to do it again...I learned so much about peoplesof and IPM.
