Pros

Good working hours, good development and progression opportunities on the grad scheme, lots of opportunity for funded study, good pension scheme and pay, friendly staff

Cons

Lots of travel (could be a pro or con depending on the person and situation - I love it), no benefits outside traditional workplace benefits I.e organised drinks/meals/events, long processes and slow to change, lack of representation and diversity in senior positions

Thank you for your review and good to see so many positives from your graduate scheme experience. It's really useful to gain your insight and we'd encourage you to share your ideas across the business, either with your line manager or by joining one of our key projects for Putting Passengers First. We're seeing really positive changes across the business and it's key that colleagues across Network Rail bring their ideas to this. So please do get involved. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.
