Pros

Benefits. If you are in the right group, your career will grow.

Cons

Management in IT keep on calling for a reorg. In the last 5 years, I have been in 3. If you are not known by SR. Mgmt, you will be left behind in a group that only care is their bottom line. Keeping you in a position, because "you would leave behind too big of a hole when you leave". Applying for internal jobs always said no, even though I knew the job role. Managers can get promoted, but not full time employees. This creates 2 classes of people IMO.

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.
