Pros

Good pay, that is all.

Cons

No new contract and the company wants 1 man crews. Since this new CEO has taken over, BNSF has become a miserable place to work. Record Profits and she wants to get rid of a majority of the workforce. BNSF makes it impossible to have a family life. Point system for days off and they make up their own holidays to charge more points for time off. They know employees can't strike so they treat them with no respect. This company is run by managers with no hands on experience and they will spend a dollar to make a dime then blame the labor.

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.
