Pros

Solid benefits. Pockets of good working culture in this massive organization, but this will vary wildly from program to program.

Cons

Structured pay increases, so there is no incentive for employees to go 'above and beyond'. If you show up for work, you'll get your annual raises.

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.
