Pros
Septa is the 5th largest public transit company in the US, and as such provides an invaluable service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The work is important, interesting, and varied. The employees are collaborative, friendly, and diverse. The employee benefits are extremely generous and include something that is rare these days, a pension.
Cons
Septa is a large company with approximately 8,000 employees, most of whom are decentralized in various locations throughout the 5-county Septa region. Only approximately 600 employees are located in the Center City headquarters building. This physical separation adversely affects communication between the various work groups.
