What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are awesome. I have so many great memories. We made so many improvements with the support offered be leadership. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was the influence of politics. Sometimes, those with political influence would use that influence to stifle new initiatives because they were uncomfortable with changes being proposed by MDTA leaders.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is family-like. People genuinely care about each other. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day in my field was pretty hectic. There were always new challenges. In my field, safety, meeting with those responsible for other federal requirements like ADA, FMLA, and EEOC to decide how we would meet all of the requirements took a lot of energy and preparing. There were always personnel actions that required discussions and decisions that challenged what you were used to and asked you to consider how multiple requirements could be implemented with sometimes competing priorities.

High stress environment not just the job but coworkers included. They will fire you if they do not like you meaning do not drive a fancy car, do not look to good and do not be to proper they will tare you apart and make sure to get rid of you even if you learn the job they will find a way to fire you and stop you from getting unemployment. They will make sure you are terminated before you make a year so that you are not off probation and have no way of fighting it. Management will give you nasty glares and try to force you into quiting if they do not like your aura. Not only that they will try to stop you from getting state employment and will have you banned for reapplying even to another facility with the same job title. Trust me you will need the union but that will not stop you from termination it will only make it so that you are able to apply with the government but not the transportation authority police or anything dealing with them. 

With this position we inter act with the public all the time, so we have to be knowledgeable with MDTA new projects that we are out to represent and the EZ-Pass Maryland rules and regulations. So we could be traveling anywhere in MD, DC or VA depending on the project. Our department with MDTA is communications, so if I'm in the office most likely I would be answering phones as well as finishing reports, replenishing supplies, looking for new or following up on upcoming events. Although this job is not difficult at all most of the time sometime dealing with the public is. Some of the people we talk to can be very argumentative and unpleasant at times. I do like the fact that my hours and days can be very easy and flexible but unfortunately this is a contractual position and I don't get to enjoy any of the states benefits, so it's hard for me to take off.

A typical day at work was unpredictable, entertaining, and relaxing. My time I spent on the job, I learned how to further demonstrate proper organization skills, as well as, customer service demonstration. The management at my particular facility was not execute in a proper way. For example, there was no communication between supervisors, so at times the days would be heck-tick and unorganized. However, working with my co-workers was a delight. There was a mix of ages, races, genders, and personalities. Everyone got along great. I would say that there was no hard parts of the job. As long as you can keep a steady composure and can do simple math, it's really easy. The most enjoyable part of the job was working alone in your booth. Now I am definitely a people person and enjoy the company and help of others even, but its really relaxing to have your own personal space with just you and the customer.

While working with Maryland Transportation, I learned to handle irate customers. I always smile and am courteous regardless of the situation. I enjoyed many people that I worked with and am sorry that the position was a temporary one. I enjoy people and like being able to help them anyway that I can. Management was several people and each had their own way of doing things, I learned to just do what was expected or more than expected and that I would be fine. I would spend 8 hours a day collecting tolls and listening to customers stories, woes, and anger. I think the hardest part of the job was receiving bills with different items on it, like gum, sticky substances and a few unmentionables.

Good company we with great benefits. Not a lot of advancement opportunities. I used to get a lot of overtime, especially in snowstorms.Sick days carry over to the next year. So do personal days and vacation days. Overtime in snow emergency's can be paid or applied to time off. Some of the managers were moody and hard to get along with. They used me for Class A driving assignments, but didn't pay me any extra. I enjoyed learning new skills, like using chain saw's. 

I would enforce the traffic laws of the state of Md everyday and night. Looking for violators and criminal activity. Using these to arrest and control violators in order for them to be judged in court. I would spend several days in district court and circuit court for traffic and criminal cases. Testifying on these cases for the proper punishment by the court judge. Also assisting motorist that need help. Investigations of crimes and incidents requiring police intervention. Answering of emergency phone calls and operating a computer to run all important information.

Dynamic and resilient professional with over 10 years of IT experience in the Healthcare, Financial and Banking domain.  Very enthusiastic and flexible Graduate Accountant (MBA) who adapts seamlessly to constantly evolving Technology and Financial/Accounting processes with emphasis on project management and business requirements. Extract as well as manipulate data from RDBMS in order to make forward-looking and decisions to improve the outlook of the organization. Possess a high-level of integrity and commitment with excellent trouble shooting and analytical skills.  Adept at budget forecasting, financial reporting analysis in both private and public sectors.

Horrible micromanaging. Most brass has know idea what real police do. Many don't even  leave their desk they try and police their police as much as possible since there is nothing else to do. 

The ancey is  known as fake cops/ toll cops to citizens who can get the department right. If you speak up you're sent to a far away station to inconvenient your lifestyle. 

Get your certificate and get out. Work for a real police department. A department where your bosses have experience in actual police work, it's embarrassing almost as embarrassing as their smokey the bear uniforms.

A typical work day started somewhat busy but after awhile it became very busy due to the work schedule. I've learned responsabilties of handling money and dealing with people and the different attitudes. The co-workers were very respectful, helpful, and patience with new employers. The hardest part of the job was keeping the money bag accurate and opening up the safe to lock in the money. The most enjoyable part of the job was being there and doing my job.
