Vantaggi
Room to advance if you're in the right department and are on the good side of upper management. They're good at moving you into different departments, but will always keep you at your original pay.
Svantaggi
This company will rarely give you any kind of raise. You have to work here for around 5 years to get any kind of significant raise. MetroNet began contracting out the work of one of their departments. As an employee of said department. We were informed that we'd be moved into a completely different job, willingly or not. They told us this a week before they contracted our work out. Other departments were already made aware of our situation before they told us. Our pay stayed the same, even though everyone in this new department was making $5.00 an hour more than us. The upper management prefers to promote males instead of females. The upper management is known to yell at low level employees. Only sent workers home for 2 weeks during the Covid outbreak. Middle management is pressured to always raise their numbers and cut costs. This resulted in us being told we had to do do more work in less time while taking our OT options away from us. Management often lies to their employees about their future at the company. High stress due to unrealistic goals. Brought into a 1 on 1 meeting with upper management where I was told I'd be getting a raise and a slight promotion. The next day I was told I'd be forced to move to a different department and learning a new job with a 1 week notice. The two departments I was a part of in my year at Metronet both had poor training programs. The trainer would frequently talk like I had 3 years experience under my belt, this includes the first day of our training. Most employee's in middle management are so worried about being fired, that they'll say or do anything to keep their job. This results in their direct employee's being mistreated.
