ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Edit: Going by the reviews, people don't like working there.

While I always imagined driving a subway as a kid, and this job could be fun, I also understand that it probably gets very boring doing the exact same job 250 times a year. Not to mention potentially having to deal with idiots that may hop onto the LRV.

There is also a mismatch of benefits compared to the region/cities. Not sure that it's a factor, but it would be for me.

EDIT: I did read through the reviews, and there does seem to be a lot of issues with management (typical) as well favouritism and lack of job security. I am guessing that some who got hired were also fired subsequently. Also seems that the poor reviews started flooding in for this particular job (as well as maintenance positions). My guess is that the complaints about management are correct and true, and the positive reviews were not from any front-line workers.

Based on what I read, I'd stay away.
