      Pros

      -Very good health benefits -Very good retirement plan -Locally, the company offers some of the best salaries (not nationally) -Value diversity -Nearly 50% of the workforce is eligible for retirment, so opportunities for growth are coming....EVENTUALLY

      Cons

      -Nearly 50% of the workforce is eligible for retirement, so there is a large gap in culture among employees -Depending on where you start with the company, your opportunities for advancement may be stifled becuase of the flat structure of the organization.

      Good management team, Very competitive pay scale, opportunity for growth

      work hours are basically any time you do not want to be working (holidays, weekends, etc...) , While managers were good, there were probably too many of them

      Excellent benefits, Great pay and job security

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extreme amount of freedom and the ability to manage your own time and work. Management is laid back, but will assist you if you need advice. You get a raise every year plus 10% of your annual salary in bonuses there is no maximum top out . You are assigned an unmarked take home vehicle equipped with a police package and company gas card that you drive until you retire or quit. The Railroad industry is investing heavily in green technology and has been around for over 200yrs so job security is solid. Retirement benefits are great with Railroad retirement, Company pension and medical.

      Cons

      The only con.....we get paid once a month. It takes some getting used to and a little money managing skills, but you will get use to it after a while. If you don't like to drive ...don't apply. They give you a vehicle and they expect you to use it a lot. Driving is essential in this job so you have to have a good driving record. If you wreck your assigned vehicle in an at fault accident it will be a career suicide and they will take it out of your annual bonus.
