Business Outlook
Pros
Railroading is a very cool business with a ton of problems to solve. Under Young or Koraleski, employees were valued and layoffs at least came with a good severance based on years of sevice.
Cons
Fritz, Vena, and PSR led to the industry absolutely losing its moral standing. Safety is undermined in lieu of profits. Prefers to ignore or cover up problems rather than fixing them. Favors company 'yes-men' who do not challenge any of the views or ideas of their superiors. Layoffs always a fear, and now they are often offering "transfer" to low-desirable jobs or you lose your job; no severance packages of yesteryear.
