Pros

Railroad retirement, some managers are top notch very knowledgable and professional

Cons

Nepitism upper managers promote the good ole boy system black ball and retaliation is absolute if you report anything on a liked or employed family member not interested in integrity training or safety the truth is preached but great lengths are taken to hide and cover up unprofessional behavior to save face highly recommend never to challenge anything the rules only apply to those without political engagement.....

Business Outlook

Pros

Railroad benefits, some good people

Cons

Salary is below average for a company this size. Org chart is screwed up with IT reporting to non-IT managers therefore useful technology is often denied implementation. Advancement is little to none they whether find non-industry talent to join. Do not treat employees fairly in order to allow for good work/family life balance.
