As supervisor I am responsible for day to day operation of Accounts Payable and oversee all check runs as well as making sure all financial transactions with bank are completed daily, this includes making sure all check/ach informaqtion gets to the bank. On most days I am responsible making that our vendor inquiries are being handled and have daily discussion with other department heads regarding outstanding invoices.

I do enjoy my relationships with my co-workers and have made great friends ofver the past 23 years. I enjoy all the people in the Accounting department and get along well with them.

The toughest part of my job is that I need to rely on others so I may complete my job, we can only pay what is approved either by voucher or PO.

The thing I like most about my job is the people that I work with, they make my days go by and help me get through the tough times and are available to help me when needed.

Loading and unloading passengers.  Collecting fares and maintaining order and safety transporting passenger from originating location to destination.  It has been become clear that people are all different and that difference is what we must truly embrace and appreciated.  The management has a difficult job in trying to maintain order and discipline among the employees while trying to meet the goals of the upper management.  My coworkers sometime reflect the attitude of the management, which is not always positive. However, they do their job and for the most part safety complete their day.  The most difficult aspect of my job is the rotating shift, which is not conducive to their family work life balance.  The most enjoyable part of my job is the satisfaction of knowing I have done my best to safety complete my trip from start to its completion.

For the MBTA, I had the privilege of working for two departments, under the organization. As for "Scanning and Imaging", my main responsibility was scanning and retrieving vital documents. I learned how to conduct myself in a professional manner. Management was awesome and everyone did they can to have a productive work day. The culture of the workplace was very environmental friendly. All employees worked at a steady work pace. There were certainly many challenges, however one major challenge had to be completing projects, projects and deadlines always creates pressure (But it must be done)
The most enjoyable part of work had to be enhancing certain skills that I have developed over time.

As a "Revenue Audit" intern, I had the opportunity of performing more administrative duties.

A frightening lack of professionalism that starts at the top. Disciplinary process is insanely excessive and unfair. Morale is very low, people are angry about the way we are treated. The hours really suck. It’s possible to work part time and be at work for 12 or more hours in a day, you may have to work 2-3 hours in the morning, have a 3-5 hour break and then return to work again and it may be in a different location. If you make a mistake, they may prevent you from going full time for years. The Green line operator is expected to be nice to an often abusive public, fix the problem trains during trips, change destinations at the drop of the hat, enforce fare collection and endure abuse from inspectors and supervisors. I look for a new job every day.

My typical work day would consist of some field work typically during morning peak hours(7am-915am).Verifying & Closing out payroll.Preparing daily budget. Reviewing/Investigating/responding to  customer complaints, emergencies and incidents. Interviewing employee and issuing discipline accordingly.The work culture is busy, mostly fast-paced.Management has taught me how to handle being in a pressured situation and coping with stress, The hardest part of the job is not having enough hours in the day to complete all all tasks. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to assist others and bring a smile to their face.

A typical day would be as soon as I punch in I take the next patient to start the process of their fit for work physicals. I've learned an increased ability to work as a team of diverse individuals. The hardest part of the job is not having memorized the text books amount of policies, procedures and regulations when certain instances arrive but that is eased by knowing where to locate the information when needed. The most enjoyable part of my job is being apart of a team that helps keep the public transportation safe.

The MBTA is a wonderful place to work. The people I work with are great people and I feel fortunate I am able to have a place to work out of college even if it is temp work. I work in accounts payable where I process vendor invoices, vouchers, and vendor information within Oracle Accounts Payable module. The hardest part of my job has to be when there is a slow day and there is not too much to do. I enjoy working especially on projects and like to keep busy throughout the day.

A good job, until the Powers that be terminated me, for incurring 3 non-intentional / non-life threatening safety rule violations.
The Mass Bay Transit Auth. is a Unionized organization, so if any employees are terminated, they are eligible for an Arbitration, to possibly return to their jobs.
I had an Arbitration, but was ultimately decided that my return would not be possible, because my safety rule violations happened in the course of 1 1/2 years, which (according to the Powers that be) is a rather quick and short amount of time.

The place is in a shambles and is like a revolving door. Employees are treated like garbage so most people do not stay. Management in many departments is a joke and a "good O'l boy" network. If you try to complain about the way you are treated, no one listens and they just ignore your request for help. Union Reps are a complete joke and do not want to rock the boat so dont count on them when you get in trouble, which at the T, all you have to do is look in the wrong direction and your instantly in trouble. Its not worth taking a job there, your always looking over your shoulder and again, management is a complete joke.

The day starts with a cup of tea. My users are very entertaining, so I laugh quite a bit throughout the day. I have little to no supervision, which makes doing my job that much easier. For the most part I enjoy helping people, and walking them through different situations.

The hardest part of the job is when a user can't quite explain what their problem is and I have to put the pieces of the puzzle together for them.

The most enjoyable part of the job is helping someone who really appreciates what I've done to make their day better.
