Pros

Interesting business challenges, strong safety culture, exciting growth through acquisition means plenty of career opportunities. Anyone with railroad operations, sales, customer service, maintenance of way or locomotive maintenance experience - particularly those with a willingness to relocate - would be well served by joining G&W.

Cons

Senior management not always on the same page, still some old-school railroaders in senior management. Since railroads run 24/7, 365 operations employees need to be willing to work in all kinds of weather.
