Pros

They are a large company and their name is well known as a leading freight carrier throughout the world. They specialize in moving freight overseas, by rail car and trucking.

Cons

While I agree that they are excellent at moving freight, I came on with the company when they started to get in to the warehouse industry. Many times it felt like the blind leading the blind over there.

Pros

- Industry leader that continues to grow (slowly) and change (slowly) with the changing global economy - Financially sound - Solid pay, great benefits, good work/life balance and a pleasant working environment - Career opportunities for growth, but don't expect that they'll be handed to you - No hipsters/pretentious individuals, just good, nice people that work hard - Oakland Corp office is very commutable - Overall great place, especially for those that are mid-career (family) focused

Cons

- If you're looking for hyper growth or disruption, this is not the place - this industry is slow and capital intensive - Low turnover, so career opportunities may appear limited, especially if being compared to tech - No ping pong tables, kegs, all you can eat junk food, etc. - I think this is a Pro! - Not a sexy company or industry (if that's what you're looking for in your career)
