Great Benefits and Leadership, but Limited Growth and High Pressure

Pros

CSX has an inspirational CEO who genuinely cares about customers, employees, and the community. The company offers great benefits, a solid tuition reimbursement program, wellness benefit, and some opportunities for hybrid work. The headquarters gym is excellent, and employees have access to free snacks, which is a nice perk.

Cons

Performance management and promotion opportunities are heavily influenced by favoritism. Career growth is very limited, if it exists at all. There's continuous pressure to do more with fewer resources, which can be exhausting. The work environment feels very stuffy, traditional, and not dynamic, making innovation and adaptability challenging.
