BNSF Railway reviews

Pay not representative for the work done. Abysmal leadership Zero work life balance Discriminatory People abandoning ship like never before. To include senior leadership. Almost as if they are trying to get people to quit to reduce headcount and ultimately reduce salaries. Management told we were lucky to even still have a job during Covid so do t complain about not getting a raise. Promotions based on kissing butt and being a yes man. You can go work for the trucking industry and make more. All about numbers and metrics. Could care less about the employees or customers as long as any sort of profit is shown. Those being promoted are absolutely clueless. Do not work for this company. They entice you with a 6 figure salary but what they don’t tell you is it will cost everything about you. Home life, mental illness, stress and ultimately your soul.

Corporate micromanages from Fort Worth and makes decisions without consulting local leaders which leaves local leaders in the dark with their pants down. Morale was constantly low in the shop due to these issues, as much as local management tried, craft employees had little to no confidence in the company or management which made the environment painful. The company didn't utilize the massive amount of data available to them and corporate never understood what was driving metrics because they never cared to ask. I came out of their college management trainee program and although there was plenty of talk about how they take care of their degreed managers, when it came down to it that didn't matter. I had the pleasure of laying off 80% of my shift then got a phone call in the AM that I was being let go too and local management didn't even know it was coming. I worked my butt off going the extra mile and taking promotions and was rewarded with unemployment. Good riddance Fort Worth, good luck with PSR...
