Pros

-There are a lot of good initiatives going on here from Paid Parental leave to the Regional Commuter Passes. -We are about rollout something to honor retirees -Attitude are changing toward the Gallup survey. - Some people really love it here.

Cons

- The railroad is an industry with rich, deep rooted culture almost like policing or firefighting because families go into this work. -Which is also what is tough about it Metra, people got jobs here because of who they know. -It's hard to get rid of people with poor attitudes who felt back on this job when they wanted to do something else. - Many people are in unhappy arranged marriages with Metra. -Not a good place for dreamers/creatives. Better someone who wants something stable and predictable.
