Pros

Pay is fair if not generous

Cons

New CEO, Steve Angel, has come in and ended remote/hybrid work. The attendance policy now directs managers to micro-manage employee's attendance and remove any work schedule flexibility with any deviation from 9-5 requiring manager approval. 3 unexcused absences is now immediate termination. Absences were previously not tracked unless an employee was actively abusing the system. This is only the beginning, he will continue to destroy the company culture and turn CSX into a toxic work environment again.

Pros

Good teams, good people overall that try to do the best they can with limited support and skeleton crews.

Cons

Not a great time to work in technology for CSX. New CEO is cutting into employee pay and benefits. Told to expect substantial increases in health insurance pemiums in 2027. Cut student loan payment perk ($200/month), Wellness Reimbursement Plan, and is requriing all employees return to the office in 2026 regardless of role. Leadership’s recent shift toward rigid, top-down policies has been discouraging for employees and is driving attrition across multiple departments. Many of the people leaving — or looking to leave — are the same subject-matter experts who support mission-critical Tier 0 applications that only one or two individuals fully understand. Prioritizing short-term profit over employee well-being jeopardizes long-term stability, operational resilience, and the trust of the workforce. The company culture quickly shifted to OneCSX for all to CSX for One, Steve Angel.

Pros

Great Pay, Good Healthcare, Railroad Retirement could be helpful but you have to work at railroads and never leave.

Cons

You will not have any worklife balance. The expecation is to work nights and weekends well over 50 to 60 hours a week. Layoffs happen all of the time. You will always have the fear you will be apart of the next round. Recently they have started cutting benefits. They stopped work hybrid work, they cut a wellness reward which basically lowered everyones salary by $600, cut the student loan repayment.
