      A company of mixed bags - excellent prospects if you can deal with the many difficult people who work there.

      Pros

      Excellent career prospects if you want to stick around, final salary pension after 5 years' service, heavily subsidised rail travel and a great team environment.

      Cons

      Stfiled by the fact the company is so heavily unionised and the fact that many front line posts are manned by absolute dinosaurs who are completely averse to change. Some very questionable offices in portacabins in less than ideal locations.

      not having the right tool for the job or just not having any tools, getting made to got steal equipment to do a job from other teams. people high up making changes with no clue about the workings of the railway. getting made to go to a job with an overloaded van.

      Network Rail is a nice place to work, the nature of the job is good, safety is good and I feel good job satisfaction.

      Pros

      promotions and leadership opportunities are good, potential for progression if you want to get a better job and the safety culture is very good so that we all work safely.

      Cons

      the railway is a tough industry and the demand on us to get jobs done and deliver improvements is tough. Our customers demand the best and we cannot always meet that high standard, though we try extremely hard.
