Norfolk Southern reviews

NS does not care about its individual employees. Their quality of life is of no concern to management. Employees are asked to work any and all hours, often times 60+, including being on call 24/7. Being asked to relocate across the country with extremely short notice is common. This can often leave employees with no job, no severance, and no options. The corporate policies are outdated. The organizational structure is very militaristic, and if you aren't "buddies" with somebody in the right place, you will be passed over with regards to bonuses, job offers, and promotions.

Not much cons. I enjoy everyday here but if I have to think of a con, here goes... Management is obviously old school in their ways and thinking and a little resistant to new ideas, but that's true of humans anywhere who have done the same thing for a long time. The place is very bureaucratic with decision making and such. Different teams have different experiences, for example, another developer from another team quit after 4 months because he couldn't stand the place and said his team members were not supportive, meanwhile my team could not have been any more suppportive, so..i guess it is what you make of it.
