Pros

Norfold Southern is a very large and stable company with lots of room to grow. This industry will be around forever as there is a continual need for the services it provides. Norfolk Southern will be able to make it through both good and bad times. There is competition but not much room for new competition. The company also pays well and has a very good retirement plan.

Cons

Sort of a boring industry. Nothing exciting really happened while I worked there. The working environment was also not very exciting. There were a lot of union workers in my department that didn't seem to do much of anything except get in the way. The managers were okay with this and let the union employees basically get paid to do nothing.

Pros

Depending on the team you are in, it can be very flexible, and you’ll be working with nice people.

Cons

HR needs to step in more, they are supposed to set a precedent yet it seems like the higher ups in different departments actually set the expectations. Which can be toxic, and some managers clearly don’t know how to manage teams. HR seems to be a nice and fun department, but the rest of the company has lackluster reviews. Also, stop advertising a total rewards package to new hires when you need to work over fiver years to get some benefits and due to the merger they won’t actually get that package. Just raise your base salaries.
