Pros

Train people were great business partners. Programming staff is Top Notch!!!

Cons

The PM and BA managers do not understand real world issues. They live and die by books written by folks who have probbably never even seen a train let alone ever worked on or near one. These Book smartalecs think they can even dictate to forigen governments. This is a very bad IT related environment. My advise steer clear.

Pros

Good pay overall Fun co-workers Outside a lot

Cons

Management is terrible.. Let me be perfectly honest and say there is a new rule EVERY DAY, and they are insane. We are not respected as conductors or engineers, and for that matter no one respects no one out here. The point should be get train to point B from point A, but instead it's "how can we make people more 'productive'? make them miserable!" We aren't allowed to sit, we have to have PPE on even eating lunch.. but managers don't have to follow their own rules. They are rude, harass employees and say things that even warrant lawsuits on a regular basis. If you look at your gross salary and your net, you'll find that almost HALF of it is gone. someone who makes 80k is really only bringing home 45k. I could go on and on, but baseline, this company isn't worth it because you are NEVER home, you have NO free time you have only 1 sick day a month and no one respects you and treats you like an idiot. DO NOT WORK HERE.

Pros

Great pay check, decent benefits package.

Cons

You have to hook up your arm to the company and watch them drain your blood out, no questions asked. Management could care less about anyone, except themselves. It is a dog eat wolf mentality. They do not follow their own policies (which incidentally they go above and beyond to print everywhere on giant posters). They claim safety first, but its actually the last thing they consider. Don't care about the mule, just load the cart with more stuff and get it moving. If you do not ever move a train, then you can claim to be the safest railroad in North America; however, you loose a lot of money doing that, so just fire everyone, and force resignations to cut back the work force. Once that's done, they overwork those remaining till they go home and off themselves.
