Pros

Absolutely loved it their during my extended stay. I spent many years of my life there and would do it over again with a few minor changes... Most people are a joy to work with, others not so much. The job I had was rewarding, fulfilling, and challenging, just perfect. I wish I had it back, i really do. Benefits were grreeeaaaattttt, health, vision, 401k, the works. But let's continue to the Cons...

Cons

We wont discuss pay too much... but its the lower tier for everyone except management. HR was useless, unless you were management, if there was an issue nothing would go anywhere, she'd die on a vine. It was all about who you knew, managers hired in unqualified people because they were buddy/buddy or knew them from the old KDL/Norlight days. They want to grow, dont want to spend money where its needed, as certain department's run on a shoe string budget and are expect to turn butter into gold. Did I mention HR was just about useless? Side note, current management has/is running off all of the experienced talent. People leave bosses, not jobs, and these bosses (not leaders) are good at running people away.

Pros

The culture established at Metronet really resonates with me. Nearly every employee performs their jobs with an ownership mindset. The leadership team for our division does a remarkable job of establishing vision and setting the tone for the department. It is a very demanding environment, but it is also one that makes celebrating success a part of everyday business.

Cons

The only negatives I have encountered are outside of the company's direct responsibilities and are orientated toward the administrative bureaucracy of the municipalities that we have to coordinate work with,
