    Agency in flux

    Mar 20, 2023 - Manager in New York, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    If you work hard, this is a good place for you. However, it does not guarantee getting higher level jobs--those go to political appointees. Which is a shame, considering an appointee does not necessarily merit their position. Working in transportation however, is a noble cause.

    Cons

    Currently there are many leftover political appointees from the Cuomo days. They are not experienced in transportation.

    Accept only as a last resort option

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Benefits, holiday, PTO, health, dental insurance.

    Cons

    Worst job for non-union employees The slow rate of promotion. You'll work with many people who have only one job. Positive performance reviews mean nothing; negative ones will be used to fire you or prevent you from receiving cola.
