Pros

Gained great experience that helped me to further determine what my career interests were.

Cons

Yelling at your employees doesn't constitute as training. Depending on the mood of the manager that day, someone always got yelled at. Environment was hostile and condescending. I have never worked in such a negative work environment before. I tried to empathize with my manager's work load and we had a neutral relationship, but overall, I don't think the manager realized leadership was not her forte.

worklife imbalance - reactive culture of emergency and fear

Pros

There is good market rate pay, and good benefits that look good on paper if you are there long enough to vest.

Cons

want life outside of work(preserve a marriage or relationship with your children)- look elsewhere want to see good leadership and vision- you won't find it there fear is the motivation tool of choice- you will have a hard time booking your vacation due to every daily emergency and deadline - if you possess leadership skills, better check them at the door, because the culture won't tolerate leadership, thought, or innovation Management has little integrity, and even less follow-through, managers will tell you that the anual ethics training module from the training department, should only take a couple of minutes, very fitting insight. Position power rules- have yet to see someone use there personal power to motivate their employees HR is weak, cannot be trusted by the employees to do right by them Culture and values are good on paper but not applied in the workplace Lots of policy and politics, there is probably a rule for that somewhere and another policy contradicting it, what? you didn't get the latest memo? Well we have a cure for that. As romantic and nostalgic as trains there will be no mutual feelings held for the employee by management.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

A human resources nightmare. Been trying to push me out the door since day one. Every little infraction of any rule can be punished to the fullest extent. They have rules to cover rules, if something happens it's your fault and you get suspended.
