      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company that looks after it's staff and has a purpose worth getting out of bed for.

      Cons

      Rather too much reorganisation, less would be better.

      Really do appreciate your comments and so good to hear of such a positive experience for you. There has been a lot of organisational change of late as we're working hard to remove bureaucracy and the Putting Passengers First programme is proving lots of opportunity for devolved decision making, something that we have seen really come into it's own during the COVID 19 crisis. Wishing you all the very best and thanks again for your comments.

      Probably the best benefits package I've ever had

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      *Good salary- more than private sector *Private healthcare *Career average pension (employer contribs nearly 9% I think?) and chance to get final salary pension after 5 years *28 days holiday + bank holidays *Flexible working *Unionised *Bonus up to 20% of pay * I believe there is enhanced maternity pay etc once you've worked there a year.

      Cons

      Takes a while to get used to organisational polices and procedures as everything is quite complicated.

      What a great review, thank you so much for your comments. You are so right, Network Rail does take a long time to understand just due to the size and complexity of the business. We really value you sharing your experience and advice and wish you the very best for the future.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with us and so positive to hear you recommend Network Rail as a place to work. As we work to our vision of Putting Passengers First we should start to see more and more transparency across the business. Thank you again for your comments.
