Pros

None anymore they have gutted it to nothing if you want to be gone all the time with no compensation apply

Cons

Csx doesn’t care about you only the share holders. They run these long trains up to 14000 feet and have no where to park them so you sit on it 12 plus hours every trip then 30 plus in hotel get home for 10 then back out on the same stuff and they want to fire you every chance they get it. Can’t pay us a decent raise but we worked through pandemic with no extra compensation but don’t worry the company made record profits. Constantly have to check your check because they always try to screw you out of something.. if you want extra stress added to your life apply and like a company run by people with out any railroad knowledge then this is the job for you.

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.
