Pros

Pay but money isn't everything in life if your ruining your body and health for it.

Cons

Work conditions and Hours are horrendous. If you have any dreams of moving up with your ideas for a better company forget they believe 1000% in Nepotism. They want robots they can control in supervisor or management positions no matter how many years of experience you might have had before joining Septa. Personally if you enjoy life look elsewhere and keep your sanity. I wasted 17 years before I saw the light don't make the same mistake I did.

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
