Pros

A paycheck. Decent benefits.

Cons

Where to begin? My time at Norfolk Southern was easily one of the worst experiences of my life and I would not recommend working there to anyone. While I can’t speak about the state of other departments, I can sum up the qualities of management in my former team in three main points. Extreme micromanagement, a complete unwillingness to take responsibility for the work of their subordinates, and little to no understanding of day to day operations coupled with a non – existent desire to improve the situation are the most prominent attributes of those in charge. If you want to play politics in an archaic corporate environment that places almost no emphasis on competence and ability and nearly everything on being exactly on time in the morning and putting in ten years of mind numbing drudgery to earn a promotion then this is the place to be! Otherwise, join the modern era and work for an organization that is set up as an actual meritocracy.

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.
