Pros

The company is very stable (until recent layoffs) there is some work life balance at the corporate office depending on your positon. The salary is decent but what keeps most people here is the railroad retirement and pension. There is opportunities to move around from different departments.

Cons

Leadership is not always upfront and don't tell employees the truth. The employee performance review process is a joke; the favorites or the most popular will get the better reviews/promotion. It's all about how likeable you are here and can you play the "game".

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.
