Progress Rail Services – “Show me the money”

Pros

Varied work, several shifts available, stability through the backing of Caterpillar, good amount of work available - you are never not busy

Cons

For a company that says that safety is number 1, they don't practice that. Employees are treated like dirt; both in pay and the softer sides unless you are a YES man. Unfair and inconsistent discipline and promotions, confidentiality is breached on a daily basis, safe work practices are bypassed in the interest of more and faster production, very little integrity in local management.

Advice to Senior Management

Senior leaders: Stop managing people and start leading them. If they refuse to follow, cut them loose. "We are working on it, or we are aware of a problem" does not solve anything. Your front line employees make this company successful, start treating them like they have a value...at minimum make sure they are as safe as they can be while at work.
