Business outlook
Pros
Great, supportive co-workers; they become a second family. Great benefits, including rail privileges and pension plan. Opportunities for advancement are increasing, especially since more and more people are retiring.
Cons
Not a very dynamic organization; there are many "old timers" who are stuck in old ways. As a "quasi-government" organization, funding is not always a given. Also, unions are too powerful here.
