      Decent Job

      Pros

      The atmosphere within KCS is pretty laid back making the job "doable". Salaries compared to the industry is low but decent.

      Cons

      They don't promote from the inside and if they do, they choose low experience workers and make them AVP or VP before even looking at the people with the real experience. Another cons is that, let's say you apply to an open position, if your salary grade is higher then they just say "your grade is higher, we cannot offer you a job" even though you are qualified. Usually they prefer low salary employees to do the hard work. Turnover is high.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits allow you to live comfortably.

      Cons

      Good ole boy system is the governing structure that controls this organization. If you are a minority, meaning non-Caucasian, it will be very difficult to advance in this corporation or expand your talent and skills beyond what you were hired to do if you don't know anyone with a higher position within the company. If you have no other options, be the best at what you are hired to do with this company and you won't have to worry about harassment or being fired, it is smart and intelligent individuals at the lower levels that allow this company to give returns to stock holders and stake holders while making profits every quarter. The Directors and Managers are not business competent, but they are experts at recognizing smart, quite, executioners that strive to be the best without taking credit. These are the silent movers of this organization.
