Pros

They pay a lot of money, but after railroad taxes (which are higher than federal taxes) plus the amount of hours you work (a minimum of 40 hours) you will make $8-$10 an hour.

Cons

This company talks a good game, but there is a huge disconnect between corporate and the employees that run the operation. Your job is NOT secure if you are a non- agreement employee. They will let you go for ANYTHING. This job is an insult to college educated people, millennials, and people who do not fix their “General Perception of a Railroader.” If you have a family you will never see them. If you are a women you will fight for respect in this male dominated industry. Do yourself a favor and find something better before your told that you can be replaced.

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.
