Pros

There aren't many positive things about this company beyond the great people in the trenches at the Minneapolis office. The CIO is already sending messages to the staff communicating how tight 2016 will be, in other words, work harder for no salary increase or bonus pay!

Cons

Poor leadership at senior management level makes successful performance difficult at best. The mantra is do more with less and don't make any mistakes while you are working 10 - 14 hour days or you will have to meet with the CIO to explain why you made the mistake. Consequence Leadership is the newest management program to improve employee performance, there are positive and negative consequences to our performance. The annual performance review process is very subjective and communicated to the employee in a letter from HR. Everyone, no matter the job you were hired into, is required to be a conductor and work the rail yard and mistakes in the rail yard can cause you to lose the job you were hired to do. There is no career path and HR keeps the pay ranges secret even from managers and good luck getting information about railroad retirement benefits.
