BNSF Railway reviews

The rate of pay is not equal to the amount of responsibility you will have in certain positions. There's no reward system for the amount of work you accomplish other than the buddy system. It takes a alot of union force and alot of time to get any kind of raises and meaningful compensation out of the company usually several years. They demoralize their own work force by saying one thing and doing another with the actions they take without realizing it alot of times.

The company literally says you (train crew) make too much money. To be called for a train with up to no advance heads-up. An example. 0001hrs You can be 10th in line for a freight train showing a planned onduty time of 1201. Cool. Plenty of time of sleep and get some chores done. You look away from the app that shows you this for 15min and your phone is ringing to be to work in 90min. It would be more tolerable if the company at least faked caring about you. They don’t. Making investors happy by skinning off as much company cost as they can (even when it directly hurts the customer and labor employees) to squeeze every penny out for its stockholders. Not that the effort to make investors want to invest is a bad thing. But when you repeatedly are kicking your labor and customers in the corn nuts, while having record breaking profits nearly every single quarter for the last 12 years, with annual PROFIT into the billions. Just to be clear. This is after all of the bills are paid. I’ve worn a lot of hats, A few that were very hard labor. This company and its attitude towards its employees is the worst I’ve ever seen. By far. Unless the company does a 180 on its mission, I would not advise give these glutinous swine your time.
