Pros

Csx is a leader in the transportation industry. I am well paid and over the years have been able to establish a very comfortable lifestyle. This is a very stable company that provides an environmantally friendly necessary service.

Cons

Long hours in the operations positions. I sense that older managers tend to be overlooked for key promotions that seem to be handed to young people with marginal experience. Also, the "good old boy " network is alive and thrives with this company. My overall impression is that Senior management want "yes men" promoted to key positions and discount mangers who are either older or not in lock step with their views..
