Good pay bad company

Pros

I can't complain about the pay. That's about it.

Cons

Terrible place to work for they don't match 401k, vacation time is a joke. Jobs get abolished all the time. I don't feel appreciated I only feel like they are trying to figure out how to get rid of my job. I would never refer a friend to apply here.

worklife imbalance - reactive culture of emergency and fear

Pros

There is good market rate pay, and good benefits that look good on paper if you are there long enough to vest.

Cons

want life outside of work(preserve a marriage or relationship with your children)- look elsewhere want to see good leadership and vision- you won't find it there fear is the motivation tool of choice- you will have a hard time booking your vacation due to every daily emergency and deadline - if you possess leadership skills, better check them at the door, because the culture won't tolerate leadership, thought, or innovation Management has little integrity, and even less follow-through, managers will tell you that the anual ethics training module from the training department, should only take a couple of minutes, very fitting insight. Position power rules- have yet to see someone use there personal power to motivate their employees HR is weak, cannot be trusted by the employees to do right by them Culture and values are good on paper but not applied in the workplace Lots of policy and politics, there is probably a rule for that somewhere and another policy contradicting it, what? you didn't get the latest memo? Well we have a cure for that. As romantic and nostalgic as trains there will be no mutual feelings held for the employee by management.

Was great until Wall St joined.

Pros

Extremely easy to move up, since everyone is now quitting, or being downsized.

Cons

Being salary, and being forced to work 72 to 84 hours a week, 12 hour shifts. I've never regretted taking a promotion until Wall St. took the CP over. Half way to a RR pension and debating leaving the industry for good. If you are single and have no commitments to anything else in life, this is a great place for you. Need a divorce and time away from your family? Please apply.
