Pros

It used to be a great place to work

Cons

Short 40 employees, company refuses to hire anymore, 10x the workload on everyone, morale is at an all time low. Refuse to call overtime even when we’re short handed. Forced on all holidays per upper management. Forced to stay over under management discretion. Terrible off days. I can go on and on, railroad is no longer a great place to work . Worried about profits and less on employees and safety .

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
