It's hard to list pros when the cons are so disturbing. This place is like the twighlight zone. If it makes sense or is a recognized, efficient industry pratice, you can guarantee it will not be practiced here. Ok I guess Iike my pay and benefits and many of my co workers, well the ones that don't just falsify documents and lie about what they are doing, so they can literally only work 26 weeks per year and get paid for 52.

You may notice a trend in the reviews. Management, management, management. In over 20 years I have worked in several different industries, was in the military, and have had responsibilities ranging from very little, to very many and some extremely important ones. Out of them all, SEPTA has the most atrocious leasership ever encountered. It's usually not even the incompetent, void of leadership, individuals fault that they act the way they do....after all, they have been enabled and are led to believe they are great, since they were selected for the position. In the military, it is very difficult to advance without basic leadership skills. At this place, it seems like there must be a leadership manual that is given to new Management Employees, containing leadership principles such as: 1. Never make a decision so your subordinate gets frustrated and ends up doing it, that way nothing can come back on you. 2. You never make mistakes, ever. Do every unethical thing possible to maintain this, lie even when everyone knows the truth. 3. Leadership is exactly the same as being a parent- when your people resist your laughable, uninformed directive, send them an email and be sure to be curt with them....oh and add a bunch of exclamation points. 4. Steal company property, engage in lewd conduct during work hours, dont go to work for a week or 2, it's ok, even if the Inspector General's office documents it all, we will continue to promote you out of every department you join when they realize we duped them just like what has happened every few years since you joined management. ......One of the worst things an Employer can do to an employee is to put someone in charge of them that actually makes them less efficient, causes them to work more hours, become demoralized, and provide no mentor to go to with technical questions or to seek guidance, get some small inkling of a responsible decision, but only forces the employee to just manage themself, put forth great work and watch the Manager with 3rd grade level communication skills take all the credit for it and likely get a good review, while they hand out a so so review to the employee. Its pathetic and to the point where most employees just laugh at it all day as a way to cope.
