Wabtec offers good benefits. There are some great people working there. Building locomotives from the ground up is pretty interesting.

Cons

Pay is below average. There is no bonus plan for most employees. Company is lagging in technology development and this is likely to present challenges going forward.Internal business systems need serious updating and this poses another challenge going forward.

Pros

Good benefits from the get-go, and competitive starting pay. Mostly rigid work schedules, no OT.

Cons

Lack of any in-depth training on the job, you will have to learn on your own. Infighting between departments, and a lot of push to get product out the door.
