Money is good share purchase program is good

Manager and supervisors have never done any work on the railroad. That’s how upper management wants it so that they follow with out question.

Pros

Great for the experience of what a difficult environment is to work in.

Cons

Very long working hours, very high expectations of being engaged in the operation. If you aren't willing to do extra, you are put to the side. You are treated like a disposable employee.

Pros

Literally can’t think of any pros

Cons

I had heard that the company offered a salary above average and that was the only reason I proceeded with them. That is not true in all cases specially mine. I was low balled but also told that with time and training they will increase my salary, but it never happened. Instead you are expected to work over time even on weekends and you can’t avoid it, because management will contact you outside of working hours. Many teams and departments have to be on call and they do not get compensated for. If you are on call, you can expect a call at 4AM and be expected to work until 6-7 AM to resolve the on call issue and still need to show up to the office before 9 AM. There is so much turnover due to high stress specially in IT and finance. Management does not care, in-fact some managers barely know how to manage a team or what is expected of a manager. Their finance department has the worst reputation out in the industry and I can see why. There is no training and you are required to know everything coming in. I got hired for a role that I have been performing for years in various industries but in this company it seemed impossible to even make it through the 1 year point. I stuck through for the promise of a raise which I never got. You are also monitored for how long you are sitting at your desk (it will appear in your performance review if you were away for even 5 mins one day). You are expected to have lunch at your desk, as well as will get looks if you are talking to other employees (even for work related stuff). The work culture is very toxic.
