Pros

*Good salary- more than private sector *Private healthcare *Career average pension (employer contribs nearly 9% I think?) and chance to get final salary pension after 5 years *28 days holiday + bank holidays *Flexible working *Unionised *Bonus up to 20% of pay * I believe there is enhanced maternity pay etc once you've worked there a year.

Cons

Takes a while to get used to organisational polices and procedures as everything is quite complicated.

What a great review, thank you so much for your comments. You are so right, Network Rail does take a long time to understand just due to the size and complexity of the business. We really value you sharing your experience and advice and wish you the very best for the future.
