Pros

The benefit package and the high salaries/wages

Cons

If you are in an exempt position not represented by a union - brace yourself. When someone needs a public scapegoat, and they will, if you are in the wrong position at the wrong time, it could be you pilloried, no mater how stellar your work product or how reliable you are.

Pros

Came to Rail from another division in the county, so much better than certain customer facing divisions. Work like balance and hybrid model are great. Lots of room for advancement in the admin world if you want it.

Cons

Can feel like you’re being micro managed or watched from the top at times but middle management is usually good at mitigating this.
