Pros

Company gives most any level a chance to succeed and learn over there abilities. More opportunity than talent and discipline. Niche market allows for many mistakes to go unpunished.

Cons

Lack of structure in processes, tool optimization, along with youthful leaders makes for many challenges and conservative change. Union Shop/Warehouse Fragmented leadership with several leading out of position

Loram Response

Loram does indeed provide many opportunities to grow and develop as an employee with internal opportunities. Regarding the "unpunished" mistakes - Not sure why there would need for punitive action as a response to an honest mistake. Additionally, there would never be an occasion to "discipline" an individual where anyone else would be present, so any actions that might have been warranted would have been done confidentially.

Pretty good experience

Pros

Great pay for no experience necessary (entry level), fast promotions, lots of hours, you get to see the world. If you get on a prevailing wage job on Metro North or whatever and get paid $80/hr- that's not bad. Pretty rare though.

Cons

Everything else- stressful, long days, dirty, everything is always breaking and you maintain it (here's to you Railvacs), and then you go back to your grimy super 8 motel and sleep for 6 hours before starting another day 16 hour day at 4 in the morning. Sometimes the coworkers are s**theads too. Sometimes you meet bad apple Roadmaster who gets up in your face for how often it seems like your machine is broken or something stupid. Advice is to have him call your boss and then leave it at that.
