Pros

Health insurance for a family was good considering the shift in healthcare. Looks good on a resume to have worked for such a huge organization. Tuition reimbursement is a plus

Cons

No opportunity for growth as they flatten the organization. Culture and Moral and terrible given all the recent layoffs. People and processes make a business successful, however, the focus has changed on doing whatever necessary to benefit shareholders instead. As a result, people are overworked and burnt out and the team mentality is gone. Disappointing how much it changed when the new CEO took over, railroaders use to be a family, but now everyone is out for themselves.

Pros

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Cons

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
