Pros

You can learn so much if you are willing to learn! The pay is good compared to the "actual" work you do! (You spend more time waiting on trains than actually working) you can get paid to travel all over the US! Moving up is not hard as long as you are hardworking and dedicated! Teaching new hires and learning from them as well!

Cons

Not many cons except for the difference in the way each Sup runs their machine. And the fact that there are favorites with the managers, 1 Sup will get chewed out for doing the same exact thing another Sup would do, but they wouldn't say a word to that one! Having a horrible Sup or one that sucks up to management will make you hate your job!

Great finance team, but lacking career growth options

Pros

The finance team was great to work with. I did not fuly approve of top management but since I have left, I've heard it has improved.

Cons

The work could get a bit redundant. Not a defined career path. I ended up leave due to mostly to getting bored and not getting the growth I was looking for.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for the work you do. We’re glad to hear that you value the pay and benefits that come with the role. We also understand that time away from home and uncertainty around machine schedules can be challenging. Our operations can be dependent on multiple factors like field conditions, which sometimes makes scheduling unpredictable. We continue working to improve communication and planning wherever possible. We appreciate your contribution to the team and your feedback as we continue looking for ways to improve the employee experience.
