I think my 33 years working my way up the ladder speaks for itself. The citizens are well served by County employees. - Operations Chief (Manager) In the Transit Control Center King County Employee Review

Pros

King County is both a very diverse and progressive organization. Good people doing a great job with limited resources. The employees work hard and long shifts that include hundreds of split shifts over a 13 hour day. That is dedication! Not just a paycheck but a commitment to serve the public 24/7.

Cons

The progressive discipline system used by King County Transit is outdated and makes it nearly impossible to terminate bad employees and making it harder for everyone. Driver and passenger safety concerns from assaults should be improved. It is a dangerous job to drive a bus and to ride the busas well.

Pros

Came to Rail from another division in the county, so much better than certain customer facing divisions. Work like balance and hybrid model are great. Lots of room for advancement in the admin world if you want it.

Cons

Can feel like you’re being micro managed or watched from the top at times but middle management is usually good at mitigating this.
