Pros

Nice place to work, there is focus on professional development. There's a good work life balance.

Cons

Salary is less than other companies for the same job. Pay rises are small, few and far between.

Pros

Second to none safety protocols Opportunities for learning new skills Colleagues Shift patterns Salary The embracing of new technologies and the development of new aps(my work ap is a massive time saver) The perfect blend of experience and youth in frontline staff. I've read some reviews that mention bias to some staff, that's not the case, you get back what you put in And finally and one of the most important one's; the work itself.

Cons

Only downside side I can think of is there is too many trains so its frustrating stopping and starting, necessary though as if there weren't trains we'd all be working down the mines . Oh and dayshift isn't my favourite, less trains at night so it's far more productive.

Network Rail Response

Good morning to you up in Perth. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. Some really useful advice and we will feed this back. Thanks again.
