Athletic Director (Former Employee), fairfield, ct – June 3, 2013
very fufilling to be able to make the kids day better. a typical day included playing various sports outside and letting the children run around and be free. At any one time I was in charge of at least 10 kids with varying specual needs.
Looks like this is a incorrect posting! SEPTA has nothing to do with playing sports with kids! SEPTA is a Public Transportation Company not a SCHOOL, DAYCAMP, or a YMCA! They run a MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM in Philadelphia PA and its surrounding PA counties!

I drove a train for Septa five days a week 69th street to Norristown. I learned how to operate a train/bus. All the coworkers were friendly to be around. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people everyday.

The city is my office. Its my duty to protect life, property, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens. No two days are alike, and that is what i love most. There is a lot of hurry and waiting, makes for an interesting level of alertness.

former employee (Former Employee), philadelphia pa – January 21, 2013
Pros: it's a job
Cons: timed lunch breaks
Tough place to work. If stress is wanted, this is the place to go. Management never shows any confidence in their employees. Quick to jump on a mistake but never compliments on a job done well. Does not support its employees and consistently believes in the worst case scenario. The non-managerial employees are probably the only good thing about this – more... company. – less
Office Manager (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – December 2, 2012
Typical days involved running an office downtown to being on location in another county, did everything from office work to payroll to helping get offices in order ... I learned to deal with vendors, to customers to workers, both union and non-union ... Most enjoyable part of this job was the interaction with all that were either in the office or on – more... location. – less
I been with septa for 31 years. That shows dedication

My day starts at 6:00am to 2:30pm. Septa has been good to me, its a good paying job, with great benefites and co-workers. The managers our happy as long as you are working. The hardest part of my job is getting dirty. The most enjoyable part of my job is putting out a good product, because the passengers rely on us for there safety. I have learned to – more... work hard with my co-workers as a team to get the job done. – less
Railroad (Current Employee), Phila. – August 16, 2012
Pros: decent pay.
Cons: working long hours to get it. poor hourly rate. labor relations.
There is too much management at 1234 Market St. There is an average of 1 supervisor to every 3 workers Septawide. Between Line Directors and Deputy Asst. Directors and Road Supervisors and GM's and Asst. to the Asst., you get the picture.
just thank god u have a job. I work for a contractor company drawing blood. the staff there treat me like i'm a inmate but i look at it as its a job and it puts food on the table. I have no choice but to deal with it.

Pros: actual work
Cons: extra board, being able to work any shift as called upon.
I liked the actual work. The training was like nothing else. The co-workers were like brothers to me. Safety was paramount so rules and conditions were important.
