Pros

CSX has had some changes due to realignment lately but overall remains a solid company to work for. Benefits are at least equal to industry standards. Upward mobility possible in the right department, promotions generally come from within.

Cons

Some positions require a lot of hours, especially those in Transportation. Recent shake-ups give pause to long-term reliability as an employer.

Pros

Simple business model which is dependent on customer service.

Cons

Board is run by an Activist Investor. Company officers for the past 10 year have been bleeding off company assets and reducing operational capabilities in exchange for short term valuations. Many of these senior leaders were brought in with documented history of sexual misconduct and questionable corporate ethics. Their only qualification they need is that they were former managers under the Hunter Harrison regime at Canadian National.
