Pros

Nothing. The only reason people stay is for money - which isn’t that good for the terrible environment- and the railroad pension.

Cons

Everything Do not work here It’s run like a union with none of the Union benefits Stay far away from this place Leadership is terrible If there was an option for zero stars I would have selected it

Pros

If you're new to the company, you can move up fast. Just be prepared to suck up and always act like everything's great, even when it's failing miserably, like the tech projects.

Cons

Where do I start. Work - Life balance is heavy on the WORK, light on the Life. Certain departments are still highly favored over others. The lies - bringing in an outside company to help screw your employees needs to be made illegal. It's obviously immoral, but our CEO and executives in general can't spell the word morality without a chuckle. Tech pay isn't competitive with the outside market and it's obvious. Pay in general isn't as good compared to other companies as it used to be. If you rate your pay on the hours you actually put in, I'm sure you'll find it's not good at all. Most anyone worth their salt is looking for other work regularly. This is even true in many other departments. Go sell your experience on the open market. Most of the tech projects over the last few years have serious bugs, but don't dare say anything -- even though it's hard to accomplish anything when you're working with what equates to chisel and stone.

Pros

Cool schedule IF you can make it work for you

Cons

Terrible schedule if you have friends or family you like to spend time with. The companies greed is limitless. Don't ever expect to share in your companies success.
