      Pros

      The working hours seem flexible and the minimum 7 hour day doesn't seem to be enforced. The pay can be good if you can stick at it long enough. I can't think of anything else.

      Cons

      I found middle management to be poor. They didn't communicated with staff, did not take responsibility or put right bad decisions. There is a culture of bullying and it's not a happy place to work. There are very poor and inefficient decisions made which impact on the travelling public and waste a lot of money.

      Network Rail is a nice place to work, the nature of the job is good, safety is good and I feel good job satisfaction.

      Pros

      promotions and leadership opportunities are good, potential for progression if you want to get a better job and the safety culture is very good so that we all work safely.

      Cons

      the railway is a tough industry and the demand on us to get jobs done and deliver improvements is tough. Our customers demand the best and we cannot always meet that high standard, though we try extremely hard.
