      Ok, but better opportunities elsewhere.

      Pros

      The benefits are great and the working environment is wonderful. You get a chance to travel a lot and meet a lot of different people.

      Cons

      They expect you to work 24/7 unless you are a VP. They give opportunities for advancement based on skin color and not talent, education or work experience. They constantly put the wrong people in the wrong places.

      CSX is a big bureaucracy but the company culture is friendly and employees generally want to do the right thing.

      Pros

      The work and the goals are always challenging. You are part of a prestigious company that is always trying to improve. The mission - to help industrial America move its freight by rail - is important and an integral part of the US economy. Great benefits with a pension and an entirely separate, well-funded, retirement system.

      Cons

      Big bureaucracy - often hard to get things done. Union-influenced culture (but not as much as it used to be). Some employees are comfortable with mediocrity. Silo mentality in the different departments.
