Pros

I’d say the vacation is more then most other places but not worth it

Cons

Refuse to give raises, must do more production then the time study shows, and if someone is on sick leave, vacation, or medical leave you have to make up their production for no extra pay. Mandated for months at a time because management makes terrible decisions and then gives you no support

Pros

Decent work life balance for many

Cons

- Political infighting across P&Ls - 💯 lack of alignment between stated values and lived values - Very difficult environment for women leaders… epic levels of role incredulity - Micromanagement coupled with clear favoritism to those that play the game (worst of GE culture) - New ideas, even if aligned to industry, are attack like a virus in the Wabtec body - Nearly no effort put into career development for mid career professionals

Pros

-Employees are cool with each other for the most part. Most employees keep to themselves. -Overtime is never questioned as long as you get the work done.

Cons

-Difficult to schedule PTO as not enough coverage but depends on the department you work in as well. -Lots of extra side work added without additional pay. -Difficult to gain a pay raise even when going above and beyond your job requirements.
