      Pros

      I have so much pride working for a railroad that moves our country and the goods that drive our entire economy from fossil fuels, industrial products, food, electronics, clothing, the list goes on. There is a wide variety of jobs within the organization to constantly grow and learn new things.

      Cons

      The entire rail industry has been effected by precision scheduled railroading and the morale is feeling it. We had a record year in 2018 but based on how our leadership speaks we had the worst year ever & getting worse. It feels like we are working at Radio Shack based on the dooms day we hear from our top leaders. Sad when we used to have so much pride.

      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.
