Pros
Usually it's easy to get the amount of hours your looking for in full time. Some stations are very easy and enjoyable depending on your preferences in customer volume, location for breaks.
Cons
Horrible Management with dumb rules and polices that benefits no one in the long run such as no sitting, leaning, eatting or drinking while on duty. Leadership is too scared to stand up to the client when they treat us like garbage with their confusing policies. That is why we now now unionized. They had six years to get it right before that had happened so it goes to show how badly it was needed. Customers are difficult and dangerous, transit police are almost never around when you need them the most, mbta employees(esp inspectors)think they can direct you by either working against you for doing what you're supposed to do or try to tell you to do things you're not supposed to do, if you're new good luck untill you've been around long enough to know better to protect yourself from their bs. Management doesn't understand the client as well as they think they do and want to tell you how to do your job without knowing what they're talking about. Training is a joke because what happens in the field is almost entirely different then what your taught. Do not join this employer. Both Block by Block and the client suck. The mbta is extremely difficult toward everyone including their own employees. So basically youre being tag teamed by the bs of both your own leadership and the dumb client who doesn't know how things should be done to service them.
