Great company to work for when the economy is up

Manufacturing engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, marginal chances to advance, great benefits.

Cons

The company seems to be more focused on pleasing the investors, than it is on retaining knowledgeable workers. When the economy is down, the work is either outsourced, or sent to Mexico.

Trinity is great on paper but not in person

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

6% 401k matching fully vested after 2 years New Maternal and Paternal leave policy, dads or adopting parents get 2 weeks and moms get 12 weeks (I think) fully paid. Trinity pays really well and if oil and gas are going good employees get good bonuses. Vacation policy starting at 14 days for new employees. New office building with all new appliances, desks, and conference rooms.

Cons

Poor work life balance. Layoffs about ever 2 years. 2 large rounds of layoffs in 2020 Lacking diversity in many departments, the CEO touts diversity of thought over actual diverse people. High rate of burnout in younger employees. On Covid-19 there is a weird push to get back in the office, even though employees met metrics while all working from home. The CEO said she would like to see everyone 100% in the office by the end of January despite rising rates of infection in Dallas County. Employees are openly rude to one another. I was told by upper management one of the reasons for little diversity was 'Women don't want to work in rail' our CEO is a woman and the CEO of a major railroad is a woman.

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with some excellent people. The over all insurance is adequate, but there were Rx plans, and the vision insurance and dental were very good. Vacation time/sick time benefits were good. While advancement is minimal, they did tend to promote from within. The corporate atmosphere I experienced was courteous and professional.

Cons

The base insurance is strictly adequate. Advancement is minimal. The pay was a little lower than comparable companies. Mediation of disputes within the company or co-workers was extremely lackluster at times.
