      Pros

      Hard working employees for the most part. High pay for people with no college degree if you can handle the hours and incompetent leadership.

      Cons

      CEO is out of touch. Elitist mentality. Needs to retire along with half of the exec team. Top down management is still alive and well at the railroad. Too much focus on college recruiting while neglecting and stifling change and progress raised by existing tenured employees. Work from home is non existent. Get real. People in admin/staff/support functions such as Finance can work anywhere. Millennials may be tricked into hiring on but quickly depart once they figure out their opinions and passion aren’t wanted or appreciated.

      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.
