Pros

good pay, great benefits, friendly people, excellent parental leave policy, free transit pass, good wellness program

Cons

the culture is really stuck and fear-based, leadership doesn't want change, and many people go terribly underutilized and just waste their day at their desk. vacation PTO is not great, start accruing at 12 days a year. decisions are not made or communicated in transparent way, your work not well-tied to goals and priorities, and employees not treated as adept in their fields. they often hire outside consultants to tell them what their employees are already saying. many processes are quite political.

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.
