Business Outlook
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.
