Pros

Many great people that work for the railroad, flexible work environment, pays decent.

Cons

Culture can be toxic with no ramifications for senior leaders. Constant change in senior leaders and objectives change making it hard to fulfill with constant pivots. Not quick to adapt to change or hire people based on skill set and past performance but who you are friends with.

Pros

Office employees are allowed to work remotely more than half the time. Tons of PTO. Free train rides for employees and their dependents/spouse. Decent pay, annual bonus and 401k match. Pension. Health insurance is fine, nothing extravagant though.

Cons

Many departments are understaffed, so the high performing employees can expect to do the brunt of the work. Don’t expect any recognition or extra compensation for it though, even if the work is supposed to be performed by positions in a higher salary band.
