      Pros

      Interesting, never stultified by micro management. Skills are honed and re-honed to meet the changing needs of the public and ever growing technology

      Cons

      None to mention at any length. Newer employees sometimes don't get the tradition or sense of railroading but that is not the fault of the company

      Pros

      Current desire and willingness to run it like a business and align to corporate strategy and goals. Very good retirement and fringe benefits and competitive IT salary. Safety is number one and concern for environmental awareness.

      Cons

      The ongoing organizational changes needs clear and effective process and communication plus clarity on new roles and responsibilities are lagging behind.

      Lack of Leadership and Accountability

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits but Pension was recently cut for new hires so really there's nothing extra unless you are close to retirement then the railroad retirement benefit will be attractive

      Cons

      If you are young ambitious and driven don't come here, it will kill your spirit. Organization is adverse to change, management avoids making decision, there's no clear leadership, finance currently has no CFO/Controller (proves my earlier point). Thinking outside the box or being proactive is discouraged, this is where accountants come to countdown till retirement
