Must 'fit' their mold

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

No micromanaging, some nice people.

Cons

If you are male and of a certain religious persuasion, this is the best company for you to work at. Females and non-(primary Utah religion) beware. Men will literally talk over women in meetings and completely discount their opinions. Prepared to be asked completely inappropriate questions about your faith and personal choices and even been hugged without warning. When it comes time to 'trim the fat', those not in the 'club' will be first to go. The CEO is unprofessional, bad mouths former employees in front of current employees and often reacts emotionally. Stay on his good side or watch out!

Pros

They buy lunch sometimes, pay is higher than most contract switchman

Cons

Management sucks, 1001 safety rules but still has dozens of accidents, young inexperienced people in leadership roles while experienced employees sit back seat.
