Pros

There are several different jobs within the company and when you get tired of one you can choose something different if you'd like and everything keeps rolling as in you don't lose no sinority or vacation or time towards retirement. You can just keep switching to different jobs that you qualify for or Norfolk Southern will send you to school to become qualified to do another job that you like within the company. It's a strong company that treats it's employees well and makes you want to do a good job for them.

Cons

I have been here for 10 years and I really have nothing bad to say about Norfolk Southern. I enjoy working there and have never had any problems with anything.

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.
