Competitive but low pay

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Vast knowledge due to numerous equipment of different configurations. Challenging based on multiple car builders and preferences. Flex timings. Competitive benefits. Multi tasking allows gain of knowledge at different positions.

Cons

Low pay. Ample vacations but cannot take several days at once. No sick pays or makeups are mandatory even for salaried professionals. Micro management and younger engineers given leadership roles over senior engineers. No room for advancement.

Decent small division

Pros

Good culture, people are helpful, doesn't foster resentment. Benefits are decent. I would feel good going back there. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Communication from upper management leaves a lot to be desired. Process sometimes gets circumvented to get results. Nothing too special. It is just a job.

Average Place/Average Wages

Pros

Benefits, great team members, semi-flexible schedules, not a lot of weekend work.

Cons

No Bereavement (must take PTO), No raises over 5% for a given year (don't expect to even get 5 %, Old Xorail would pay their employees a competitive wage, Wabtec policies prevent competitive wages, basically the longer you stay the less money you will make as compared to outside of the company for the same position)
