Pros

Xorail is quickly growing as a company and looks to grow in the near future. Most managers are flexible in work hours and as a whole, the employees are outgoing and very friendly resulting on a good working atmosphere.

Cons

The company may be growing too quickly. The management styles try to mimic the larger companies that work with and for, but the company culture is still one of a small "Mom & Pop" shop. Promotions are next to impossible and there are few set policies to refer to in your day to day activities.

Pros

Wabtec offers good benefits. There are some great people working there. Building locomotives from the ground up is pretty interesting.

Cons

Pay is below average. There is no bonus plan for most employees. Company is lagging in technology development and this is likely to present challenges going forward.Internal business systems need serious updating and this poses another challenge going forward.
