Pros

CSX offers a fair salary - and excellent benefits (including railroad retirement). The leadership at the top of the company is excellent - and in recent years cash bonuses have been sizeable. Engineering Department is well ran and resources for our work have been growing.

Cons

Those in the Operations department work long and unpredictable hours. Physical positions can be demanding. Opportunities for promotion are limited in some departments, and there are some examples of people doing the same job with different titles (and different salaries)
