Pros

SEPTA has great company sponsored healthcare benefits. They still have a company sponsored retirment plan and a 457 B plan with a company match of 10%.

Cons

Very poor employee morale. Career advancement is virtually non-existent for all but a "few". Salary administration is arbitrary and inconsistent. Employees are not properly supported in the performance of their duties. You're an expert until they hire you!

Pros

Free rides on public transit

Cons

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
