CSX reviews

Csx doesn’t care about you only the share holders. They run these long trains up to 14000 feet and have no where to park them so you sit on it 12 plus hours every trip then 30 plus in hotel get home for 10 then back out on the same stuff and they want to fire you every chance they get it. Can’t pay us a decent raise but we worked through pandemic with no extra compensation but don’t worry the company made record profits. Constantly have to check your check because they always try to screw you out of something.. if you want extra stress added to your life apply and like a company run by people with out any railroad knowledge then this is the job for you.

They have an awful point/ attendance policy. Left in motels away from family days on end. Personal days can not be taken when needed Work 95% of all holidays without holiday pay. We go by a board system that should tell us about when we may be called but crew management puts BS times & train schedules in there that we can never judge on how or when we may be called out. Working exhausted - always! They used to have rules that would allow you to mark off due to weather related incident - your town can make an alert that no one is to be on the road & they still tell you to drive on in. You get one set day a week off... It maybe scheduled for Monday but you probably wont get it till Wednesday. Work / life balance is non-existent. Officials wait & hide in bushes to see if you mess up, they also fly night vision drones to watch you, along with Inward facing cameras on the engines to watch what you do on the engines You get placed in bed bug infested hotels. A good % of Crew management doesn't do their job effectively & talks down to crews. You are responsible for the short comings of the other person on the engines. They screw up You're fired too. Don't worry you will always have the work excuse to miss every activity that your children are in, every wedding you're invited to & the funeral of your wife's grandmother bc that's is NoT your immediate family. Get ready to ruin your family life if you don't have a strong backbone together! If you're single, don't have much family to speak of, this is the job for you!
