Pros

The company paid benefits were amazing. We had free medical and dental, a full pension plan, 401K match and we paid into RRB vs. SSA which is more costly per paycheck but the benefit at retirement is much more secure.

Cons

TTX is an "old school railroad company". The company operates in a "if it isn't broke ~ why fix it" mentality. They have all the money in the world to make things better, but a huge majority of the staff would rather not change the way they have been operating since 1979. Also, if you are cute, you'll move ahead real quick because the leaders of the company are a pack of "good ole boys" who like to have pretty faces visable at any cost. Even when it comes to companies getting bids for internal work, the team with the best looking people gets the job, not the most qualified. There are also alot of behind the scene scandals going on that pose a hugh conflict of interest. Some leaders own their own companies outside of TTX and guess who TTX employs to do the work? You got it! The leaders companies! Something seems a little off on that one, but no one seems to care about that.

Pros

TTX employees appreciates that it has a secure future, as it serves the railroad frieght transportation industry across North America. We all like the no-cost-to-employees benefits along with stability of the company. Top management works earnestly to make improvements how to servides customers and how it treats its employees. High integrity, good recognition programs, appreciation events, employee activities,and community involvement. Retention of employees is higher than most companies, I think.

Cons

No cons about the work conditions and coworker relationships I have at TTX.

Pros

Great insurance benefits, matching 401k @ two years of service, railroad retirement

Cons

Seniority rules here, and regardless of whether an employee is ineffective or disruptive, they will keep their job. The company is also in the midst of a wave of retirements, and and can't find talent to directly replace people. Many retirements result in departments being completely restructured. TTX suffers from "corporate incest" - too many people here have spent their whole careers with the company, and are unable to bring new ideas and efficiencies to the workplace. HR is only starting to see they have big issues on their hands.
