Never work at hq
Make friends quick and they will give you the ropes. Stay away from the DC office. Keep records of EVERYTHING there is alot of throwing under the bus. It is safer to be in the Union but get to know the law and the reps because when push comes to shove you loose.

Pros and cons
Stay trouble free remember early is on time and on time is late. It’s not a bad career but it’s not for everyone even sometimes I ask my self can I make it to retirement. But there’s longevity and when ur seniority goes up each yeah it feels good.

WMATA is one of the top places to work
As a lower level employee I can say my experience is great and encouraging of development. WMATA has great benefits and great compensation. The work environment is really diverse and flexible. Management at WMATA comes from all backgrounds, internal and external. Opportunities for advancement are always present.

Good job for a career
WMATA not the place for someone who likes satisfaction in their work and is looking to advance their career. There is no accountability for anyone. Employees regularly sleep while on shift and nothing is done about it
