Pros

some of the best reasons to work at BNSF railway would be to make good connections inside the railway to move up in a position or to someday get re-located to a place you would like to work at.

Cons

some of the downsides to working at BNSF railway is the hours and the sometimes the intermodal management. My last intermodal manager did not do a good job at managing people and show them how to do the job.

Pros

This is a great place to start and grow your career, especially as an MT, with tons of opportunities to take on projects and explore what interests you. Leadership at every level is genuinely supportive and approachable, and people across the company are always willing to teach, mentor, and help you succeed. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the Business Resource Groups really add to the sense of community and development.

Cons

There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming figuring out what path to focus on. Balancing day-to-day work with all the development options can be a bit challenging depending on your role and workload.

Pros

- Good pay - Remote work is nice

Cons

Terrible management, at least for my team I have possibly one of the worse, disorganized, and rudest manager. He's not only like this towards me but several others. I'm sure I got very unlucky and placed in a bad team but I also have not been enjoying the projects I have been given.
