Network rail employee leaves review, then leeps from cliffs at Dover

Business Outlook

Pros

Working on rail safety is rewarding in itself, network rail has a very dedicated safety team and despite management are very loyal and helpful to each other

Cons

Never really knowing if you will have the same job month by month. Management on the safety side are always looking to load more work onto employees for the same pay, trying to erode conditions of employment. As far as safety is concerned "hairbrained" is all I can say about some of the changes they want to make.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance - understand my needs as a mother. Network Rail is on a world class programe so they are slowing changing and it is making it a better place to work.

Cons

Gender pay gap - im a female with experience and males with no or hardly any experience are paid more than me, and this is the worst I have experience it. Unfortunately some recent experiences I have had is clouding my view of network rail at the moment and as I do not see any help from management not sure of my long term future in this company
