      Pros

      Free / discounted rail travel for immediate family. New CEO brings promise of hope to the organization.

      Cons

      Extremely bureaucratic. Not a learning organization. People will do the same job for years. Government / entitlement mentality among union and management employees. "Good ole boy" network thrived under former CEO. Few with great educational backgrounds and experience outside of the organization. The same folks do all of the work. Resources go to those that jump up and down and complain the most. New hires do not come from top tier organizations so few fresh, cutting edge ideas are brought in. Leadership completely unable to make decisions under previous CEO. You could really count the good leaders on one hand and they weren't in the right positions. Too many executives...not enough folks doing the work. New CEO is working quickly to change this. So far, so good.
