      Pros

      Large company with a lot of resources, and receiving railroad retirement.

      Cons

      I worked at this company for 10yrs, progressively moving through the ranks. There is very Incompetent C suite and upper level management. Very toxic working environment where little to no one is to be trusted. Unrealistic, inconsistent, and unclear goals, projects, and objectives for the company, team, and employees. Constant geographic relocating. Vertical growth is only gained through connections and/or being the proper demographic, not merit. Zero equity or care for the employees. Pay is subpar for what you do and put up with as are benefits, especially since they took away the pension.

      Pros

      Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

      Cons

      The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
