Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance. Great location (near Metra and CTA trains in the heart of downtown). Everyone is friendly and the company is very stable.

Cons

Majority of the people there have been there for many years/decades and are stuck in their old ways. Very cliquey and not as welcoming to newer employees as they should be. You'll literally walk by the same people for years and they won't even attempt to introduce themselves. The training is terrible, they are completely clueless and don't know how to relate to a new comer. Management takes zero accountability for their lack of mentoring and training, they just assume you'll "pick it up as you go" without putting any effort on their part to help you get there. They also don't do a good job of letting you know where you stand, but everyone "seems" friendly so you'll get a false sense of security while you're there. Don't expect HR to have your back either, they will simply side with their friends whom they've worked with for years/decades without any attempt to see your side. Friends stick together there. If you're there for less than 3 years then you're pretty much an outcast.

Pros

Decent pay Hybrid work schedule Relatively lax work

Cons

Executive leadership will admit “this is a completely different company now” but it’s 100% in the worst way possible. TTX no longer carries the industry weight it once did. Half of the employee force was lost due to the move and most of the new hires act like everyday is their first lived experience. The company’s finances are clearly on fire. Exemplified by the new shoebox sized cubicles, low income, millennial-esque barn wedding venue chosen for the Christmas party, and FORCING employee to engage in outdoor extracurricular networking under the guise of personal enjoyment…Not quite the downtown Chicago rooftop experience we were once accustomed too. Leadership is chaotic and most of middle management is compromised of narcissists who actively belittle and berate their employees instead of encouraging and aiding in their development. The bonus is managers lie and gossip about you behind your back! HR does nothing about it. Seriously, people here act like they work for the Pentagon. The work generally isn’t too stressful and you don’t get paid OT, but that doesn’t stop the company suck ups from thinking they’re Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Pros

Benefits, downtown location is nice. Workout facility onsite is good. Railroad retirement is nice if you stick around long enough

Cons

No career path - some managers will promote, some will not. IT is despised by most departments because leadership is poor. IT morale is extremely low. Managers take all the credit and offer no praise or support
